Insecurity: 21 suspected criminals arrested in Ondo

Voice Air Media, News Update

Ondo State security outfit, Amotekun Corps, has arrested no fewer than 21 suspected criminals including kidnappers.

The state commander of the security outfit, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, while parading the suspects in Akure, said that criminals now develop new tactics daily to outsmart security personnel.

“We have 21 suspected criminals from various local governments in the state. The more we devise means of check-mating them, they also move forward and i know by the grace of God and the support of Ondo State people in the provision of credible information, we will get around it.

“A typical example is the modus operandi of those who specialise in the kidnap and stealing of Okada. Earlier, we advised the people not to patronise Okada that use hoods to cover their heads, only leaving spaces for their eyes and nose, as those are known to be criminals, especially at night.

“We were able to break a syndicate that devised another means of dispossessing innocent Okada riders of their Okada. Some of them have been killed. They use guns, and heavy objects, and rather than mount the Okada, they ride beside the Okada and hit the Okada rider on the head,” he said.

Adetunji said that the 21 suspects had been profiled and would be charged in court after a thorough investigation.
