Amotekun Nabs 33 Kidnap Suspects In Ondo

Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun, has arrested no fewer than 33 suspects for various offences across the state, including kidnapping.

The state commander of the outfit, Mr Adetunji Adeleye, made the disclosure yesterday in Akure, when he briefed newsmen on the activities of the agency and arrest of the suspects.

Adeleye said that the suspects were arrested for allegedly committing offences, ranging from kidnapping to house breaking, stealing of motorbikes and trading in human beings, amongst others.

According to him, the 33 criminal suspects were picked up from different parts of the state.

“For some of them, we have concluded their investigations and they will go for prosecution, while we make sure that the remaining suspects follow due process of the law.

“We have six kidnap suspects and even have some of their victims here. We equally have about five persons that specialised in stealing motorcycles, they will pretend as passengers and hit the okada rider from the back.

“We have another set of people that specialise in vandalising critical government assets, especially high-tension lines and transformers.

“They were picked up in Okitipupa and we were able to retrieve most of the things they stole,” Adeleye said. (NAN)
