Mr. Oluwasegun Oluwarotimi did not envisage that August 9, 2021, would be the last day he would walk on both legs. He had gone out on his motorcycle to hustle for the day when an encounter with operatives of the Ondo Amotekun Corps almost cost him his life. His left leg had to be amputated to save his life.

Oluwasegun dropped off a passenger around the Araromi area of Akure when Amotekun operatives stormed the area and started shooting into the air.

He claimed nothing incriminating was found on him but an Amotekun operative shot him in his left leg at close range. The former commercial motorcyclist said his life was shattered by the incident. He said he was taken to the hospital and abandoned without proper medical care.

The father of three said lack of proper medical attention caused his leg to be amputated thus ending his ability to send his children to schools and cater for their needs.

Oluwasegun, in a letter written to the Commander of the Ondo Amotekun Corps and signed by his lawyer, Tope Temokun, urged the Amotekun Commander to cause proper investigation into the incident and disciplinary action taken against the officer who shot his leg.
