Ogun State Commander of Amotekun Corps, David Akinremi, is dead.

He died during a protracted illness.

Akinremi, a retired Commissioner of Police (CP), was the pioneer commander of Amotekun Corps.

He was appointed by Governor Dapo Abiodun in 2021.

Commander of So-Safe Corps (a sister security agency), Soji Ganzallo, who confirmed Akinremi’s death, described it as a rude shock.

“The Amotekun Corps, under his watch, worked satisfactorily with other security agents to rid the state of criminals,” he said.
