Osun Security Network, codenamed Amotekun Corps has been barred by a Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, from participating in the state governorship election holding tomorrow July 15.

suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party by its lawyer, Hashim Abioye,
Justice Ayo Emmanuel also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission
not to make use of the Amotekun Corps as part of security details for the
election.
The order partly read;
“That the
1st defendant (INEC) is hereby restrained from requesting the deployment of the
second defendant (AMOTEKUN) as part of the security personnel deployable for
the purpose of Osun 2022 governorship election pending the determination of the
originating summons filed in the suit.”
