According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the corps’ Public Relations Officer, CSA Yusuf Idowu Abass, the allegations against the officer were formally presented to him by the Command’s Ambassador Provost, CSP Joshua Omogbehin (retd.).
The statement said Sanjo acknowledged the allegations during the proceedings, after which the command dismissed him in accordance with the public service regulations governing the conduct of its personnel.
Following his dismissal, Sanjo was directed to surrender all Amotekun uniforms, equipment and other official materials in his possession as part of the disengagement process.
Reacting to the development, the Corps Commander, High Chief Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to discipline, professionalism and accountability among its personnel.
