Ondo Commercial Motorcyclist Sues Governor Akeredolu-led State Government, Demands N100billion After Being Shot By Amotekun Corps, Abandoned In Hospital, Leg AmputatedA man, identified as Oluwasegun Olayinka Oluwarotimi, has narrated how operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun, abandoned him at the Federal Medical Centre in Owo after one of them shot him in the leg.
“Oluwasegun did not flee because he assumed the officers were carrying out their lawful duties, and especially because he had done nothing incriminating that would warrant him to flee at the sight of Amotekun officers. This made one of the Amotekun officers threaten him. “The following day, he was informed that the medical workers at FMC, Owo had gone on strike, leaving no one to care for our client's torn flesh, torn muscles, and broken bones, and unfortunately, the Amotekun officers who brought him to the hospital never returned after August 9th, 2021 to follow up on Oluwasegun’s situation.”
It was learnt that Oluwasegun has two children in primary school and the incident has rendered him incapable of providing for his family's needs.Hence, he filed a suit at the High Court to compel Ondo State Government, Ondo State Attorney-General and Amotekun security outfit to jointly pay him the sum of N100 million to cover both the general and special damages he suffered because of the incident.
Mr Omolafe said this in a letter addressed to Olwasegun’s lawyer, stating that he was to be arraigned immediately in court for aiding the escape of the main suspects and impeding the course of justice, in addition to being a key member of the gang.
