Ondo State security network, codenamed “Amotekun Corps” has arrested three suspected jailbirds who escaped from Benin Correctional Centre.
The state commander of Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, said the three suspects are Taiwo Adeola, Juwon Olanrewaju and Olajide Olayemi.

Parading the suspects alongside other 64 suspects at Amotekun headquarters in Akure, the state capital yesterday, Adeleye said one of the jailbirds was still answering charges bordering on kidnapping and robbery before escaping from the prison.
Adeleye, who said a good number of them were suspected kidnappers, added that they were identified by their victims, noting that some of them were arrested with different types of weapons.
According to him,”Some of them are housebreaking, and some are suspected robbers and murderers. Out of these 67, we have three that could be regarded as jailbirds.”

Adeleye said one of the jailbirds said he was answering charges bordering on kidnapping and robbery before escaping from the prison.
His words, “Another one claimed to be running away from fellow kidnappers because he was not joining them again, we were also able to arrest him in what he termed his last operation in Kidnapping before we arrested him.

“He told us that he is a member of a seven-team kidnap group terrorising the Iso/Emure/Owo axis. These are cross sections of criminals troubling the peace of the state.

“The major reason for parading them is to send the signal to criminals that Ondo State cannot tolerate them and the government is resolute in ensuring that the peace and stability of the state are not disturbed by them. Once you know that there is no way you engage in criminal activities and you won’t be arrested, I want to advise them to go.”
