The Ondo State Amotekun Corps has become aware of a false and misleading report circulating on certain online platforms, which claims that an accidental discharge involving the Corps Commander at the Amotekun New Recruitment Training Ground in Owo led to gunshot injuries to five personnel.
The Ondo State Amotekun Corps categorically debunks and dismisses this claim as false, baseless, and a gross misrepresentation of facts. At no time did the Corps Commander, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, discharge a firearm accidentally or otherwise nor was he involved in any incident leading to gunshot injuries.
On January 26, 2026, the Corps conducted a routine range clarification exercise as part of the ongoing training for newly recruited personnel. The exercise was successfully concluded without any casualties.
The false narrative being circulated is deliberately sensationalized and intended to undermine the image of the Corps, and undernimed the security of the state. Ondo State Amotekun Corps remains a disciplined, professional, and law-abiding security outfit committed to the safety of its personnel and the people of Ondo State.
The public and media are urged to disregard the report and rely only on verified information from official Amotekun communication channels.
