No fewer than 3,443 persons in Ekiti State have applied for the recruitment exercise of the Western Nigeria Security Network popularly referred to as Amotekun corps following the closure of the online application. The governing board of the security network had four weeks ago invited interested persons who are willing to be part of the network established to combat the scourge of criminalities in the state. Speaking with Tribune Online in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital on Wednesday, the Amotekun corps commander in the state, Brig. Gen Joe Komolafe (rtd) said those who complied with the guidelines and instructions earlier stipulated among the 3,443 would soon be invited for an interview. We are at the stage of sorting out the applications we have received for us to invite people who successfully did what we really want in the applications.
