In a bid to bolster security across Ogun State, Governor Dapo Abiodun has approved the recruitment of 500 additional operatives into the State Security Network, popularly known as the Amotekun Corps.
The recruitment drive, set to commence on Monday, March 10, 2025, follows the recent passing out parade of 690 newly trained Amotekun operatives, underscoring the state government’s commitment to ensuring the safety of lives and property.
The Corps Commander, Brig. Gen. Alade Adedigba (rtd), disclosed this in a statement, emphasizing that the exercise aligns with the government’s continuous efforts to enhance security measures across the state.
He urged interested applicants to apply at no cost via the official Amotekun website: ogunstateamotekun.com.ng. The application portal will remain open until Friday, April 4, 2025.
“A comprehensive screening exercise is scheduled to take place from Tuesday, April 22, 2025, to Thursday, May 1, 2025. Prospective applicants are encouraged to adequately prepare and adhere strictly to the screening guidelines,” Adedigba stated.
Describing the recruitment as a crucial step towards strengthening the corps’ operational capacity, he noted that the initiative would ensure communities across Ogun State benefit from enhanced security coverage.
“This recruitment marks a significant advancement in our efforts to boost the effectiveness of the Amotekun Corps,” Adedigba added. “We urge eligible individuals to take advantage of this opportunity and contribute to the collective security of our state.”
