The Ondo State Security outfit, codenamed Amotekun Corps, says it has suspended three of its officers over alleged gross misconduct.
Adetunji Adeleye, the state Commander of Amotekun Corps, made the disclosure while addressing journalists in Akure on Monday.
Adeleye named those affected as Abu Taiwo, Ekujumi Julius and Akinsipe Victor.
He added that the affected officers have been declared wanted.
Adeleye lamented that the acts were aimed at undermining the agency’s integrity.
“Intelligence showed that the three officers were sponsored to undermine and disparage the management of the corps, as well as distract it from its core mandate of securing lives and property in Ondo State.
“The Ondo State Security Network Agency will not be dragged into controversies.
“They acted in isolation, and the Corps remains united, focused, and determined to deliver on its mandate.
“We have proof that they were being sponsored, and they must come forward to answer to the allegations,” he stated.
