Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola yesterday inaugurated Osun Security Network Agency code-named Operation Amotekun Board and Amotekun Independent Complaints Board.

The governor, speaking at the inauguration, said the two bodies were products of the Osun Security Network Agency and Amotekun Corps (Establishment) Law 2020.

He said the 15-member Osun Security Network and Amotekun Corps Board would be chaired by Gen. Ademola Aderibigbe, while Gen. Bashir Adewinbi would serve as the Corps Commander.

He noted that the two generals have been selected on the strength of their capabilities as proven military tacticians and astute administrators. The Amotekun Independent Complaints Board is a three-man team headed by Justice Moshood Adeigbe.

“It is our hope that the Osun Security Network Agency and the Amotekun Corps will offer improved security of lives and property and close the gaps created by the obvious overstretching of the conventional security agencies, while the Amotekun Independent Complaints Board will act as checks and balances for the activities of the Corps personnel.”
