A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, has barred the Osun Security Network, codenamed Amotekun Corps from participating in the 16th July gubernatorial election.
The court order also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), not to make use of the Amotekun Corps as part of the personnel to be deployed to provide security in the election.
The order warned Amotekun not to serve as either security personnel or volunteer in the guber election.
Speaking on the court order, Hashim Abioye stated, “With this order, it is forbidden for the INEC to make use of Amotekun as part of the security personnel to be drafted for the election.
“As I speak to you, those concerned, the INEC, police and other relevant agencies, have been appropriately served.”
