Osun State Police Command has told the Osun State Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Isaac Omoyele, to bring proof of an alleged attempt on his life by some yet to be identified gunmen.
It would be recalled that the spokesperson of Osun Amotekun Corps, Idowu Yusuf, in a statement early on Tuesday, announced that Omoyele was attacked by gunmen while driving home after the close of work on Monday.
According to the statement, the incident occurred at about 10:05pm along Ikirun Road in Kobo Area, Osogbo, while driving home in his private vehicle.
Yusuf quoted Omoyele has saying in the statement, “I had left the office, driving home with my two-door vehicle. When I got to Kobo, some armed men suddenly appeared in a moving vehicle, double side by side with my car and started firing.
“Their faces were covered, and before I could react, they opened fire on my vehicle. Bullets riddled the car. I didn’t stop. I kept driving through the hail of gunfire. I was hit, but I managed to escape.”
Providing updates when contacted by PUNCH Online, Osun Police Command spokesperson, Abiodun Ojelabi, said the incident was reported by Omoyele.
Ojelabi, however, said the investigation has not commenced as Omoyele has not come up with proof that an attempt was made to kill him.
He said, “According to the report he (Omoyele) made that he was attacked, the police have gone to the scene and we have told him to come along with the vehicle.
“He will have to produce the vehicle and other things to prove the incident before we can talk of an investigation.”
