South West commanders and officers of the South West Security Network (SWSN) codenamed Amotekun Corps have organised a candlelight walk for Akeredolu, the late Governor of Ondo State.
The Amotekun initially assembled themselves at the Cathedral junction in Akure, Ondo State capital. Their purpose was to commence the candlelight walk for Akeredolu to the governor’s office at Alagbaka.
They chanted songs praising the late Akeredolu.
Arriving at the Governor’s Office, the Corps commanders were welcomed by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. The governor then promised his unalloyed support for the sustenance of the formation initiated by Akeredolu.
Aiyedatiwa also told them of the utmost importance placed on the security of lives and property within the region.
Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, who spoke on behalf of Corps Commanders from the five states, reiterated the readiness of all Southwest states to safeguard the region from criminal activities.
Adeleye speaking to Journalists said,
“The Corps commanders from Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, and I, along with hundreds of our men, paid a solidarity visit to the government and the good people of Ondo State to mourn the loss of our amiable governor, who had been at the forefront of Amotekun Corps.
“We have met with all the governors, and they have demonstrated their solidarity with the people of Ondo State. All the Corps commanders travelled from their respective states today, and that’s the reason for the 5km walk we embarked upon.

“The notable achievements made by Governor Akeredolu were primarily in the security framework of the South-West. We are all aware of the security situation before the establishment of Amotekun, approximately three years ago. We are living proof that security in the southwest has significantly improved. We are committed to continuing the commendable work that he initiated as our esteemed leader.”
Commander Adeleye said they have received assurance from Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa that he will carry on the exceptional work started by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in Amoteku, urging members to remain calm.
