According to a letter signed by Alhaji Teslim Igbalaye, the Secretary to the State Government, Omoyele’s appointment is effective from Wednesday, July 3.

“In addition to your existing responsibility as the corps commander, Amotekun Security Network, you are expected to put to use the experience garnered during your remarkable years of active service,” the letter stated.

Omoyele retired from the Police Force in 2023 after 35 years of service. Before his new appointment, he served as the Special Adviser on Internal Security and Local Matters to the governor.

The Western Nigeria Security Network, known as the Amotekun Corps, was established by the South-West governors in 2020 to support other security agencies in combating crime in the region.
