Ondo court faults Amotekun for declaring three officers wanted

The court further rejected a ₦5 million damages claim brought by the three officers, stating that the agency has a statutory duty to maintain discipline and to punish personnel accused of serious crimes such as mutiny, conspiracy, and incitement against the state.“Amotekun’s warrant of arrest was lawful; the agency simply should have returned to court to convert it into a formal public summons if an officer was evading service,” the judge said.” He said that Amotekun Corps had earlier secured a valid warrant of arrest from the court on 24 October 2025, three days before the officers were declared “wanted” by the corps.
