The Osun State Amotekun Corps has announced that one of its operatives, Sheriff Ogundiran, collapsed in his house while preparing for work and was later confirmed dead minutes later.

According to Punch, the spokesperson for the corps, Yusuf Idowu, on Thursday, explained that Ogundiran suddenly took ill at home and could not be revived.

Idowu said Ogundiran, who until his death, served as the Provost of the B Division at the Ila-Orangun Command, “collapsed unexpectedly and was later confirmed dead.”

He added that the death left a profound void within the corps and the larger security community in Osun State.

The Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Mr. Adekunle Omoyele, in a message, has condoled with the late Ogundiran’s family, friends, colleagues, and the entire community of Ila-Orangun.

Omoyele described the deceased as a disciplined, loyal, and tireless operative.

He further said, “Sheriff Ogundiran was more than just an operative; he was a pillar of our operational command structure and a proud son of Osun who served with unwavering dedication to the security of our people.

“His sudden death is not only shocking but a painful and irreplaceable loss to the Amotekun Corps, his family, and the community he served with courage and honour.

“During his time with us, Ogundiran distinguished himself with admirable professionalism, bravery, and an unmatched commitment to duty. He played a pivotal role in maintaining peace and order in Ila-Orangun and beyond. His legacy will forever be etched in the history of the Osun Amotekun Corps.”

Omoyele reaffirmed the Osun Amotekun’s commitment to honouring the memory of fallen officers by upholding the values and standards they lived and worked for.

He assured the people that appropriate support would be extended to the family of the late officer.
