The Corps Commander, Ekiti State Security Network Agency Amotekun Corps, JOE KOMOLAFE has said that the agency’s governing board had completed screening for 2,593 applicants.

KOMOLAFE said the shortlisting exercise for the successful ones among them would “be transparent, non-partisan and merit-based to ensure that only people of unquestionable character and integrity are recruited”.

The corps commander, who spoke in Ado Ekiti on completion of the screening, said the governing board would meet next week to deliberate on the report.

He said the merit-based appointment would help the security outfit achieve its goals and objectives targeted at keeping armed robbery, kidnapping, killings and other crimes in the state at bay.
