The Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun, has paraded 12 suspected criminals arrested in recent security operations across the state.

Commander of the Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, announced this at the Amotekun Headquarters in Alagbaka, Akure, noting that the arrests stemmed from the ongoing Operation Le Won Jade border patrol and intensified 24/7 ember-month security activities.

“We are parading 12 suspects arrested in various parts of the state. Under the category of breaking of law and order, we have nine. One suspect was apprehended over an anti-grazing-related farmers’ clash, while two others were arrested for kidnapping,” Adeleye stated.

According to him, the kidnapping suspects include 22-year-old Usman, arrested at the scene of an abduction along Ijoka Road, Akure, and 25-year-old Abdullahi, apprehended at Ago Aduloju Camp, Ugbe, in Akoko.

For armed robbery and conspiracy, the corps arrested two 19-year-olds, Odule and Temidayo, in Okitipupa.

In an anti-grazing operation, a 30-year-old man identified as Mohammed was arrested in Ala, Akure North Local Government Area.

Others paraded for conspiracy and burglary include John (31), Ibrahim (22), Solomon (23), Felix (20), Ude David (18), Peter (25), and Shuaibu (18), all arrested in Akure North.

Adeleye also noted a significant drop in kidnapping-related cases within the past week, describing the development as encouraging. He appreciated members of the public for providing timely information and commended other security agencies for their continued collaboration in keeping the state safe.
