How killers outsmarted security operatives said Ondo Amotekun Commander by Owo massacre

 

In the interview, the pioneer Commander of the Ondo state security out-fit codenamed Amotekun, who is also the special adviser to the state governor on security matters, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, spoke on the Owo massacre where over fifty peoples including children were massacred at St Francis Catholic Church, Owo.  Adeleye also spokes on how the security outfit is coping with the influx of criminals  from neighborhood states and the achievements of the out-fit.

How do you see the security breach of June 6, where over fifty peoples were massacred by terrorists in Owo?

Its very embarrassment to the entire security architecture, especially as we put everything in place to prevent that particular incident. Amotekun Corps got an intelligent report that such attack was likely to happen and we put everything in place. 

I personally met the Brigade Commander (of the 32 Artilery Brigade of the Nigeria Army, Akure) and we went out on a joint patrol to all the areas and we were patrolling Owo township and the environs’ forest for seven days. We withdrew on Saturday and on Sunday morning, the incident happened. So, it was a serious embarrassment.
