The Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Amotekun in Ondo State has arrested 27 suspects for various offences within two weeks across the 18 Local Government Area of the state. The State Commander of the Amotekun corps, Mr Adetunji Adeleye, disclosed this while parading the suspects before newsmen on Tuesday in Akure.
Adeleye said the arrested suspects committed offences ranging from cultism, housebreaking, and motorcycle theft among others, while the command equally resolved five anti-grazing/farmers’ clashes “What I mean by resolved farmers and headers clashes is that the headers volunteered to pay for the cost of what they destroyed and equally paid the fine of the government for the infringement.
“The uniqueness of today’s parade is that apart from very few cases, about two or three kidnapping cases were recorded at the borders. “That is the Akunu-Kogi-Ondo border, where we had two cases of kidnapping, and the Ose border-Edo-Ondo border, where we had one case in the last two weeks,” he said. Adeleye, who attributed the corps’ success to the unrelenting efforts of its personnel, said he would continue to engage criminals, both within the town and in the forest.
