In a significant step towards strengthening grassroots security architecture in Osun State, the Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, High Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, has officially commissioned a newly constructed Amotekun Post Building located around the Powerline area of Eko-Ende in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Osun State.

The modern security facility was generously constructed and donated by the Elende of Eko-Ende Land, His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdulwaheed Babatunde Adekunle, FCA, Ayunawa IV, as part of his unwavering commitment to enhancing the protection of lives and property and sustaining peace within the community.

The colourful commissioning ceremony attracted dignitaries, traditional leaders, community stakeholders, and officers of the Osun Amotekun Corps from various ranks across the state. The event featured a ceremonial parade and other activities showcasing the readiness of the security outfit to deepen community-based security operations.

In his opening address, the Eesa of Eko-Ende Land, High Chief Isaac Kolawole Ogunkeye, highlighted several developmental projects executed by the monarch since ascending the throne. According to him, the traditional ruler has undertaken numerous people-oriented initiatives, including the construction and rehabilitation of roads, installation of solar-powered street lights across the ancient town, educational support programmes, and several other infrastructural developments aimed at improving the quality of life of residents.

High Chief Ogunkeye commended the monarch's visionary leadership and appealed to residents and indigenes of Eko-Ende to continue supporting and cooperating with the royal father to ensure sustained growth and development of the community.

Speaking during the commissioning, the Corps Commander, High Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, expressed profound appreciation to Oba Abdulwaheed Babatunde Adekunle for his remarkable investment in community security through the construction of the Amotekun Post.

Dr. Omoyele described the project as a demonstration of purposeful leadership and a practical contribution to the collective responsibility of safeguarding lives and property. He acknowledged the monarch's deployment of resources, building materials, and technical expertise towards the successful completion of the security facility.

The Corps Commander assured the royal father and residents of Eko-Ende of the unwavering commitment of the Osun Amotekun Corps to ensuring maximum security across the community and its environs.

As part of the ceremony, Dr. Omoyele formally introduced the hierarchy of officers who will be stationed at the newly commissioned post and assured the community that the office would remain fully operational and adequately supported by the State Command.

Addressing the officers posted to the facility, the Corps Commander charged them to uphold the core values of discipline, professionalism, integrity, and dedication to duty. He emphasized that they must remain committed to the mandate upon which the Amotekun Corps was established.

"Amotekun belongs to the people, and the mandate given to us is clear—to protect lives and property across Osun State. I therefore urge all officers deployed to this post to discharge their duties with utmost diligence, maintain cordial relationships with members of the community, and work closely with local vigilante groups and other security agencies operating within the town," he stated.

In his royal remarks, the Elende of Eko-Ende Land, His Royal Majesty Oba Abdulwaheed Babatunde Adekunle, FCA, Ayunawa IV, expressed gratitude to the Corps Commander, High Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, the Field Commander, Dr. Capt. Olusoji Akanni, and other officers of the Corps for honouring the community with their presence and for officially unveiling the security post project.

The monarch noted that the establishment of a permanent Amotekun presence in Eko-Ende would significantly enhance security, strengthen intelligence gathering, and further sustain the peace and tranquility currently enjoyed by residents.

Oba Adekunle reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the operations of the security outfit in the community. As part of this commitment, he pledged to provide daily feeding support for officers stationed at the post as well as accommodation facilities to ensure their comfort and operational effectiveness.

The royal father further prayed for divine wisdom, strength, and empowerment for the leadership and personnel of the Osun Amotekun Corps as they continue to discharge their constitutional responsibilities of safeguarding communities across the state.

In a significant milestone aimed at strengthening operational efficiency and leadership structure within the Osun Amotekun Corps, the management of the Corps on Monday, May 25, 2026, officially decorated senior officers with new ranks during a colourful and well-attended ceremony held in Osun State.

The promotion exercise, which had long been anticipated within the Corps, saw the decoration of Area Commanders, Heads of Departments, Operational Commanders, and other senior officers who have distinguished themselves through dedication, professionalism, and commitment to the security architecture of Osun State.

Speaking during the event, the Corps Commander, High Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, expressed gratitude to God for the successful realization of the long-awaited rank decoration exercise. According to him, the process had been in the works for a considerable period but had previously faced several setbacks before finally becoming a reality.

He emphasized that the newly conferred ranks should not merely be viewed as symbols of authority, but as greater responsibilities requiring discipline, humility, and exemplary conduct both within the Corps and in society at large.

“The rank you are wearing today is a call to greater responsibility. You must conduct yourselves honourably among your junior officers and members of the public. Leadership comes with accountability, discipline, and service,” the Corps Commander stated.

Dr. Omoyele further appreciated the Executive Governor of Osun State, Asiwaju Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, for his unwavering support and commitment toward strengthening the Osun Amotekun Corps.

Dr. Omoyele further disclosed that Local Government Commanders and some officers at the Corps Headquarters would also receive their rank decorations during another exercise scheduled for the following Monday.

In his remarks, the Field Commander of Osun Amotekun Corps, Dr. Olusoji Akanni, described the decorated officers as deserving recipients whose sacrifices and contributions over the past five years had greatly advanced the growth and operational success of the Corps.
He encouraged other officers to remain hardworking, disciplined, and committed to duty, noting that diligence and loyalty would always attract recognition and reward.

“The responsibility given to these senior officers today is not to intimidate junior officers, but to guide, mentor, and correct them appropriately. Likewise, junior officers must respect constituted authority and uphold the values of the Corps,” he stated.

Also speaking at the event, the Legal Adviser of the Corps, Barrister Oyedele Akintayo, cautioned the newly promoted officers against abusing their positions or using their ranks to harass members of the public or engage in unnecessary confrontations with other security agencies.

He urged them to remain law-abiding, professional, and committed to the principles upon which the Osun Amotekun Corps was established, while praying for God’s continuous guidance and protection over them.

Similarly, the Ambassador Provost of the Corps, CSP Joshua Omogbehin, charged the officers to serve as worthy ambassadors of the Corps wherever they find themselves. He warned against maltreatment of junior officers, stressing that any officer found wanting would face disciplinary actions in line with the established rules and regulations of the Corps.
