  "summary": "The Osun Amotekun Corps has clarified that four of its operatives were voluntarily handed over to the police for investigation into the killing of Olalekan Oyeyemi, also known as Emir, in Ile-Ife. The corps made this clarification in response to reports suggesting that the operatives had been arrested by the Osun State Police Command. The four men were reportedly attached to Nurudeen Alowonle, a factional chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Osun State. The incident involving Oyeyemi's death occurred during a clash at Mayfair Motor Park on September 13, 2026. The Amotekun Corps stated that the decision to hand over the operatives was aimed at ensuring a transparent investigation and to support accountability. The Corps Commander, High Chief Dr Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, personally handed over the operatives to the police. The Amotekun Corps emphasized its commitment to professionalism, discipline, and cooperation with other security agencies, pledging to maintain the public's confidence in the state's security system.",
