Some suspected criminal elements allegedly sewing fake uniforms of the Oyo State Security Network Agency popularly called Amotekun Corps have been arrested in Ibadan, the state capital.
The Chairman of the Amotekun Corps, Gen. Kunle Togun (retd.), made the disclosure on FRESH 105.9 FM Political Circuit on Saturday.
Some of the unauthorised tailors involved in the illegal act were paraded with bales of fake Amotekun uniforms.
The Amotekun Chief said the unscrupulous elements were arrested not far to the radio station at Challenge, Ibadan.
According to him, the suspects were investigated and handed over to the police at Yemetu Police Station.
Toogun said, “We heard that these people were sewing and selling the fake Amotekun uniform to some people particularly at Lagelu area of Ibadan. We are presently at the area to uncover the truth.
“Our fear is that if the uniforms get to the wrong hands and they use them to commit crimes, people will believe it is the handiwork of real Amotekun personnel. Toogun, who recalled how he fired the erring Amotekun officers that killed the 21 year old Tosin Thomas in Mokola area in the state to set good example, said, “We are really afraid of this development because bad news spread quickly than good news.”
