Western Nigeria Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun Corps, has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of the upcoming Osun-Osogbo Festival.
A statement released by the Amotekun Corps’ spokesperson in Osun, Yusuf Abass, said about 500 well-trained personnel have been deployed to strategic locations within Osogbo, the state capital.
According to Abass, the deployment is part of the corps’ commitment to ensuring a peaceful and hitch-free celebration during the revered cultural event.
“This proactive measure is part of the corps’ commitment to ensuring a peaceful and hitch-free celebration during the revered cultural event, which will hold on Friday, Aug. 8,” he said.
Amotekun Corps’ State Commander, Mr. Adekunle Omoyele, assured that operatives of the security organization would be visible at festival venues, routes, and public convergence points.
“We will not allow any person or group to undermine the peace and sanctity of this revered celebration,” Omoyele warned.
He also issued a stern warning to individuals or groups with criminal intentions, saying anyone apprehended disrupting public peace or engaging in criminal activity will face the full weight of the law.
The commander encouraged attendees and local residents to enjoy the celebrations responsibly and report any suspicious activity or breach of peace to the nearest Amotekun operative or other security agencies.
