Reacting in a statement made available to AMILOADED on Sunday, Oyetunji said Amotekun’s statement has further confirmed the Corps as “an embodiment of propaganda not befitting a reputable security outfit in the state”.

It would be recalled that the Amotekun Corps Media Department, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Yusuf Abass, disclaimed not being involved in the allegation of workshop raid on last Monday, calling on the public to disregard the information.

Oyetunji, however, noted that the denial of the alleged raid by Amotekun showed that the outfit “is devoid of integrity, honour and dignity”, stressing that he was ready to square it up through legal means.

He threatened legal action against the security outfit, saying he has assembled his lawyers and concluded plans to institute litigations against Amotekun.

He said, “I am disappointed in the arrancy unworthy of noble security formation like Amotekun for outrightly denying being involved in the raiding of my workshop.

“With this outright denial, I can say emphatically that the security outfit has now become an embodiments of Propaganda and not befitting a reputable security outfit in the state.

“I am going to challenge the security outfit at a competent court of law.”

Osun Amotekun had in a statement by its spokesman reacted to the allegations of workshop invasion, saying it was false.

Abass stated, “We have been made aware of a social media publication containing libelous allegations against the Osun Amotekun Corps, which we must correct to prevent the spread of misinformation.

“The publication falsely alleged that Osun Amotekun Corps invaded Oyetunji’s workshop on Ring Road, Osogbo, and stole vehicles and spare parts. We wish to inform the public that Osun Amotekun Corps was not involved in this act, and the news is entirely false.”
