Wole Soyinka Warns Amotekun Operatives, Threatens With Ogun
Professor Wole Soyinka has warned the newly inaugurated Amotekun operatives in Ogun State not to abuse their uniforms but rather, they should secure the state and carry out their duties effectively.
The playwright did not mince words when he said that Ogun, the god of iron, will strike any operative who abuses his uniform while discharging his duties.
Soyinka said, “Amotekun, we are watching you. If you abuse your uniform, before Ogun strikes you, we would have dealt with you.”

Addressing the gathering, Soyinka expressed dissatisfaction that the police had not been able to give him feedback on those who he claimed invaded his residence and carted away very sensitive materials, adding that he had since resorted to what he termed “do it yourself.”
He warned the police and other security agents not to engage in any competition with the Amotekun corps in Ogun, saying “this is not a replacement for you, you’re too jealous of your uniform.”
He urged them to welcome the new security network into their ranks and allow its operatives to complement their efforts in securing the state.
