Amotekun arrests 27 suspected criminals in Ondo

On Monday, agents of the Amotekun Corps, also known as the Ondo State Security Network Agency, paraded a total of twenty-seven individuals who are believed to be criminals and have been causing fear throughout the state. 

Adetunji Adeleye, the Chairman of the Corps, stated that four suspected kidnappers and motorbike snatchers were among the suspects. 

Adeleye promised that Amotekun will not give up on maintaining peace in the state while presenting the suspects at the Corps' headquarters in the state capital, Akure, or Alagbaka.

He said: “We are parading 27 suspected criminals that engaged in various security breaches across Ondo State and across the board, I want to say that despite pockets of security breaches, the security situation of the state is good.

“For instance, on law and order, we have 22 suspects within the period under review. On pending enforcement, there is no infringement. On land and chieftaincy, there are no issues. Anti-grazing farmers/herders clashes, we had six but we’ve resolved five, the remaining one will go to court.

“We have four kidnapped suspects that are going through interrogation. On the 27 suspects, we have Michael Ojo. You will recall that the last parade we did, we arrested one of the major members of a syndicate that specializes in killing Okana riders, robbing them, and some of them were at large.
