THE Amotekun Corps in Osun has arrested a 47-year-old man who allegedly broke into the Cheribum and Seraphim Church in Ogo-Oluwa Area, Osogbo.

The state Amotekun Commander, Brigadier General Bashir Adewinmbi (retd.), said that the suspect broke into the church at about 4am on Friday.

He told journalists in Osogbo on Saturday that the suspect was apprehended after a resident notified operatives of the corps.

“Our men received a distress call from one of the residents of Ogo-Oluwa that a church was being burgled and they needed the attention of our operatives urgently to arrest the suspect.

“Our operatives swung into action immediately and they were able to arrest the suspect while trying to escape the scene with his loot,” he said
