<h2>The Ondo command of the southwest security network, known as <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/amotekun/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amotekun</a>, has taken disciplinary action against three of its officers due to their involvement in professional misconduct.</h2>
<p>These individuals were reportedly engaged in both human trafficking and burglary activities within the state.</p>
<p>The state commander of Amotekun, Adetunji Adeleye, addressed the issue while parading seven suspects to the public at the command headquarters on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Out of these suspects, three were implicated in human trafficking, while the remaining four were apprehended for breaking into houses.</p>
<p>Adeleye emphasized that the dismissed officers would face legal consequences in accordance with the corps's established regulations, <strong>Naija News</strong> reports.</p>
<p>Furthermore, he revealed that some of the stolen electronic devices have been recovered, and investigations are currently underway to apprehend the robbers who managed to escape upon encountering the Amotekun operatives.</p>
<p><em>“Today, we have three Amotekun personnel who went through the normal process of court martial and are being dismissed today for professional misconduct,”</em> Adeleye said.</p>
<p>He added, “They cease to be members of Amotekun Ondo state corps as from now, and we will ensure that adequate punishment is<em> meted out to them even after dismissal.</em></p>
<p><i>“Out of the seven suspects we are parading today, we have three that were arrested for human trafficking cases, and we have four others that were arrested for housebreaking.</i></p>
<p><em>“And we were able to retrieve all the items stolen from their operation, which would be handed over to the rightful owners.</em></p>
<p><em>“However, this is to reconfirm that the response to distress calls is actually working for us in order to reduce crime to the minimum.”</em></p>
<p><em>He urged residents to assist the corps with more credible intelligence information.</em></p>
<p><em>“To commuters, we advise you to reduce travelling late in the night, and early in the morning. However, we will commence our 24-hour patrol from the end of this week to ensure safety.</em></p>
<p><em>“We want to encourage the good people of Ondo state to give us timely information to work for them.”</em></p>
