Operatives of the Osun State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun Corps, have been allegedly attacked and injured by hoodlums at the Corps command post in Awo, Egbedore Local Government Area.

A statement on Monday in Osogbo by Yusuf Idowu, the spokesperson of the Corps in the state, disclosed that the incident happened on Friday.

“The Oniwoye of Iwoye reported an unauthorised interment of a corpse on the community ancestors’ land to the corps’ command post in Awo. “Upon the receipt of the report, four Amotekun operatives were deployed to the location to investigate the matter,” he said.

Idowu explained that on arrival at the site, the operatives discovered that the burial had taken place. (NAN)

“Shockingly, a notorious and long-wanted thug, Ismaila Aluko, emerged from hiding with a gang armed with dangerous weapons and attacked the operatives, injuring them in the process.

“The operatives, however, tactically withdrew to the Awo command to seek reinforcement.

“In a shocking turn of events, the hoodlums regrouped and staged a second attack on the Amotekun office in Awo,” he said.(NAN)
