Amotekun rescues kidnap victim, arrests 24 in Ondo

The Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun Corps, has paraded 21 suspected criminals in the state over alleged criminal activities.

Parading the suspects on Tuesday at the command headquarters in Akure, the state commander of the corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, said the suspects were arrested at different locations across the state.

According to him, among the suspects were two kidnapping suspects -Umaru Mohammed and Ahmadu Illiyan – who were arrested at the point of receiving a ransom for the victims earlier abducted and are currently providing the corps with useful information that might lead to the arrest of their accomplices.

He said, “Today, we are parading 21 suspected criminals who were picked up in various local government areas of the state. Among those paraded today were suspected kidnappers who, around the places where a ransom was paid, were picked up and are already giving us useful information.

“We also have those who specialised in kidnapping and stealing of okada from innocent okada riders. They will ride behind them, hit them with heavy weapons, and steal and dismember their bike. We were able to apprehend the mastermind who came all the way from Benin (Edo State)  for the operation and a serious manhunt is going on for his accomplices.

“We have Olanusi Adurayemi and Kabiru Mustapha, who are armed robbery suspects; then, Umaru Mohammed and Ahmadu Illiyan, suspected kidnappers. So, the 21 suspects are profiled and ready to proceed to court after investigations.”

The Amotekun boss warned the people of the state against buying cheap and fairly used hand equipment, saying failure to do so would make them be arrested alongside the thieves.

He also admonished the people not to relent in providing the corps with credible and credible information that would lead to the arrest of the criminals.
