Adegbulu, who is a Junior Secondary School (JSS) 3 student of Akure Secondary Commercial School in the state capital, was arrested by the operatives of Amotekun when he was being taken to hospital after being injured by electricity in the middle of the operation.

According to the boy, “I never knew that there was going to be an electricity supply at the time of the operation. It happened on April 28, only two of us went to the transformer and that was my second operation.”

While attributing his action to the handiwork of the devil, Adegbulu said, “We were three in number and we usually sell the electricity transformer cable for N25,000 to one Mr Abubakar. During my first operation, we vandalised and stole the electrical installation of an uncompleted building.”

Parading the suspect and other suspected criminals, the Commander of Amotekun in the state, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, said, “We are parading 45 suspected criminals that have been engaging in various acts of criminal activities within the state.”

Adeleye who further disclosed that fate caught up with Adegbulu while cutting the transformer cables, noted that the electricity was supplied and burnt half of his body

The Amotekun boss said, “After a lot of trailing, we arrested him because the moment it happened, he was rushed to three different three hospitals and when they got wind of the fact that detectives from the Amotekun corps were on their trail, they moved him out of Akure. We also trailed him to the location and saw him in a very terrible state.

“He was to be killed so that he would not reveal his sponsors. We had to revive him, brought him to the health facility of the corps and we spent a lot of money to make him come back to life.

“He was able to tell us nine other members of the gang, including their godfather who is on the run. We are on the trail of the godfather.”

On other suspected criminals, Adeleye narrated, “We also have one Jubril, a suspected kidnapper that was arrested a couple of weeks ago but was released on bail and within 48 hours of his release, the residents and traditional ruler of his village called us that three people were to be kidnapped by the gang of this same suspect, but we were able to apprehend them.

“It is of note that the security organisation that arrested him is still going on with the court case on the initial kidnap case. Now, he was arrested for another one.”

He further disclosed that other apprehended persons include suspected vandals of electrical installations at uncompleted buildings who “pull out the wire, pill, melt and sell them to the same kingpin that I initially said is on the run and we’re still trailing.”

He added that the corps have few cases of house lifters and shop buglers as well as those arrested in connection with kidnapping and cultism.

“Out of these 45 suspects, seven are already in court but we needed them to throw light on our ongoing investigation, so, we sought the leave of the court to allow us a few more days which was granted. That’s why they’re part of these 45 suspects. As soon as we complete the investigation, all of them will be taken to court to face the full wrath of the law,” Adeleye said.
