Making this disclosure on ‘ RESH 105. 9 FM Political Circuit ’ on Saturday was the Chairman of the Amotekun Corps, Gen . Kunle Togun ( retd . ) .

The Amotekun chief said the unscrupulous elements were arrested not far to the radio station at Challenge, Ibadan .

Togun said , “ We heard that these people were sewing and selling the fake Amotekun uniform to some people particularly at Lagelu area of Ibadan. We are presently in the area to uncover the truth .
