The Osun State All Progressives Congress Governorship Campaign Council, on Monday, alleged that 50 operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps were deployed to guard a private power facility owned by Governor Ademola Adeleke’s elder brother, Dr Deji Adeleke, in Ondo State.
The campaign council, in a press statement on Monday, said the Amotekun operatives were stationed at Pacific Energy Company in Omotosho Village, along Benin/Ore Road, Ondo State.
“The Osun State All Progressives Congress Governorship Campaign Council has expressed grave concern over credible intelligence reports indicating that operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps are being deployed to provide security for a private business facility owned by the elder brother of Governor Ademola Adeleke, Dr Deji Adeleke,” the statement read.
The statement further said the Amotekun team was led by Commander Aseye Matthew Olusola and one Kazeem Raji.
“This disturbing development raises fundamental questions about the priorities of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration at a time when residents of Osun State are facing growing security threats from kidnappers, armed criminals and other violent elements operating across the Southwest,” the council said.
The Council further alleged the death of an operative deployed to the facility. It named the operative as Mr Abdullahi Adedeji from Egbedore Local Government Area.
“According to information available to us, the officer in April 2026 was involved in a motorcycle accident on his way to Ondo to report at the strange duty post, sustaining severe head injuries,” the statement said.
“Rather than offering him immediate and adequate medical attention, we are informed that he was ordered by his superiors to return to his hometown and fend for himself. Tragically, the officer reportedly died afterwards due to the absence of proper medical care and support.”
The statement accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of accessing N14.9 billion in security votes up till last year.
“Yet, the administration has failed to demonstrate any significant investment in strengthening the operational capacity of security agencies in the state,” it added.
