Hon. Ogunmolasuyi stated, “Akogun Adeleye’s reappointment is a well-deserved recognition of his tireless commitment and exemplary leadership in securing Ondo State. His service in the Amotekun Corps has tremendously impacted our collective safety, and I have no doubt that under his continued leadership, our state will experience even greater strides in combating crime and maintaining peace.”
Hon. Ogunmolasuyi extends his best wishes to Akogun Adeleye, expressing confidence that his reappointment will bring renewed energy and focus to the Amotekun Corps. He is optimistic that under Akogun Adeleye’s leadership, the Corps will continue to effectively protect the people of Ondo State.

In a similar development, the Nigeria Union of Journalists, (NUJ), Ondo State Council, has congratulated Akogun Adetunji Adeleye on his reappointment as the Commander Amotekun Corps by Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa.
In a Press Release issued by the State Chairman of the Union, Prince ‘Leke Adegbite and the State Secretary, Comrade Olaoluwa Meshack, Ondo NUJ described the step by the Governor to renew the tenure of Akogun Adeleye as commendable, lawfully appropriate and publicly felicitous.
The Pen Professionals Body notes that considering how Ondo Amotekun Corps under Akogun Adeleye has been protecting the residents of the state against criminal elements, especially in our forests, highways and farms, it is normal to applaud Governor Aiyedatiwa’s action.
“This is unarguably one of the best decisions of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration, as the reappointment of Akogun Adetunji Adeleye will not only consolidate strong structure of Ondo Amotekun Corps established over four years ago, but also send a powerful signal that Ondo State still remains no go area for criminal elements”
“No doubt that Amotekun corps in Ondo State is a shining example and should be made a template upon which State/Community Policing should be entrenched in the Nation’s Constitution.
The union noted that Ondo Amotekun Corps has been working consistently and harmoniously with other Security agencies such as the Police, Armed Forces, DSS, NSCDC and others, urging the outfit not to rest on its oars to liberate the state from criminal elements.
While applauding Governor Aiyedatiwa for showing unprecedented commitment to sustain Amotekun Corps, one of the legacies of his former principal, late Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, Ondo NUJ encourages the State Government to prioritize adequate funding of the security outfit.
