The Ogun State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun, has dismissed six female recruits from its training camp after they were found to be pregnant before joining the agency.
Speaking on the development after a routine pregnancy test was conducted on about 125 female recruits in the camp, the State Corps Commander, retired Brigadier General Alade Adedigba, said the exercise underscored the agency’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its personnel, as well as its determination to maintain a high standard of professionalism and discipline within its ranks.
Adedigba explained that the agency’s decision was also a proactive measure to prevent potential health complications or significant risks that may arise during the three-week training period, such as the threat of miscarriage or avoidable birth defects. (Vanguard)
