Tension In Osun: Akinlalu Community Demands Amotekun Boss’s Sack Over Deadly Killings.

According to Nivo News, Governor Ademola Adeleke on Monday led members of his cabinet, the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, and other top officials to Akinlalu to commiserate with the community over the tragic incident that has sparked outrage across the state.
The incident, which occurred at the Akinlalu market square, reportedly left three members of a single family and another resident dead, with several others injured. Omoyele later claimed he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, a claim dismissed by the police.
Following the outcry, the Inspector-General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) arrested 25 Amotekun operatives and sealed the outfit’s operational base at Oke-Fia, Osogbo, as well as its Ife Central office.
During his condolence visit, Governor Adeleke met with the Alakinlalu of Akinlalu, Oba Oluwabusola Oloyede, community leaders, youths, and families of the victims at the palace. The community, through a joint address by Oba Oloyede and the youth leader, Musibau Adeboye, demanded the immediate suspension of Omoyele, stating that his continued presence in office could worsen existing tensions.
They urged the state government to take decisive action by suspending the Amotekun Commandant pending the outcome of investigations, while also presenting seven other demands aimed at restoring peace and trust between residents and security agencies.
Chief Kamorudeen Oyebamiji, the Aro of Akinlalu, who lost three relatives in the incident, criticized the stance of the Osun State House of Assembly and its Speaker, Adewale Egbedun, for allegedly calling for the reopening of the Amotekun base despite the killings. He demanded a retraction of the Assembly’s position, describing it as insensitive to the victims’ families.
Governor Adeleke, while addressing the grieving community, expressed deep sorrow over the killings and assured residents that justice would be served. He disclosed that he had instructed the Chairman of the Amotekun Board to proceed to Abuja to assist in the ongoing investigation and emphasized that those found guilty would face the full wrath of the law.
“I was deeply pained by this tragedy,” the governor said. “I have directed the Amotekun Board Chairman to support the probe in Abuja. Those responsible will be punished, and the victims are receiving full medical support from the government.”
Adeleke also commended the youths for maintaining peace despite the tension and promised that the state government would continue to support the affected families.
Representing the Osun State Commissioner of Police, DCP Taiwo Yusuf described the killings as unfortunate and assured the people of Akinlalu that justice would be done, confirming that over 20 Amotekun operatives had already been arrested.

FROM BEHIND BARS! Uwazuruike Drops Bombshell: Nnamdi Kanu Is Recruiting Igbo Youth For Violence From Prison!.
Ralph Uwazuruike, an agitator for the Biafran nation, has accused Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), of continuing to recruit Igbo youths for violent activities from his prison cell in Sokoto. Uwazuruike claims that this ongoing recruitment is directly responsible for the deaths of many young people.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Call to Action: He urged Igbo leaders and the pan-Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to travel to Sokoto to demand that Kanu cease his recruitment efforts.
-
Opposition to Violence: Uwazuruike emphasized his own aversion to violence and questioned how someone serving a life sentence for terrorism can continue to mobilize youths for such causes.
-
Advocacy for Amnesty: He questioned why IPOB members cannot renounce violence and seek government amnesty and rehabilitation, similar to the programs offered to repentant terrorists and bandits in northern Nigeria.
-
Context of Allegations: Uwazuruike’s comments appear to be prompted by recent social media videos featuring hooded, armed militants who claim loyalty to Kanu and threaten further violence in the South East to secure his release.

Leadership Changes: These concerns also follow reports that Kanu has restructured his leadership team from prison and initiated a vague “100-man-project”.

Context of the Attack: MACBAN reported that Risku was killed shortly after attending a security meeting requested by Ohimini Local Government officials to discuss regional peace and stability.

The Incident: Approximately an hour after the meeting, Risku and an associate were intercepted and fatally shot in Okudu village.

Premeditation Concerns: The association views the killing as a “dastardly and deeply disturbing act” and highlighted that the timing, immediately following a peace-oriented security meeting, suggests the attack may have been premeditated.
-
Pattern of Violence: MACBAN noted that this incident follows a recent attack on the deceased’s son, a lawyer, in a village last week, further supporting the need for a thorough and transparent investigation.
-
Broader Impact: The association emphasized that targeting community leaders and peace advocates actively sabotages efforts toward dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
-
Commitment to Peace: Despite this tragedy, MACBAN reaffirmed its dedication to collaborating with government and security institutions to resolve national security concerns and offered condolences to the victim’s family and the Benue State chapter.
