An operative of the Osun State Amotekun Corps, Sheriff Ogundiran, has been announced to have collapsed in his house while preparing for work and was later confirmed dead minutes later.

The spokesperson for the corps, Yusuf Idowu, during an interview with PUNCH Metro 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,” noting that the death left a profound void within the corps and the larger security community in Osun State.

In a condolence message signed by the Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Mr. Adekunle Omoyele, in Osogbo, the organisation condoled with the late Ogundiran’s family, friends, colleagues, and the entire community of Ila-Orangun.
