Tailors Arrested for making fake Amotekun Uniforms

Some tailors have arrested for allegedly sewing fake uniforms of the southwest Security Network Network code-named “Amotekun” in Oyo state.

Speaking on the development on ‘RESH 105.9 FM’s Political Circuit’ on Saturday, the Chairman of the Oyo state chapter of Amotekun Gen. Kunle Togun (retd.) 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.

Togun 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 in 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.

Togun, who recalled how he fired an erring Amotekun officer who killed 21-year-old Tosin Thomas in the Mokola area in the state to set a good example, said, “We are really afraid of this development because bad news spread quickly than good news.”
