A Federal High Court in Osogbo, Osun State capital on Friday ordered the Osun Security Network aka Amotekun Corps not to be involved in Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
Justice Ayo Emmanuel also mandated the Independent National Electoral Commission not to make use of the Amotekun Corps as part of security details for the election.
The ruling followed a suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party through its lawyer, Hashim Abioye.
Part of the order reads, “That the 1st defendant (INEC) is hereby restrained from requesting the deployment of the second defendant (AMOTEKUN) as part of the security personnel deployable for the purpose of Osun 2022 governorship election pending the determination of the originating summons filed in the suit.”
