The Western Nigeria Security Network, known as Amotekun, in Ondo State, has arrested 31 suspects for various alleged crimes across the 18 Local Government Areas of the State.

The Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Mr Adetunji Adeleye, made this known while parading the suspects during a press conference on Wednesday, 31 January 2024 in Akure.

Adeleye stated that the suspects were arrested for offences ranging from alleged kidnapping, and illegal possession of firearms and those that specialized in breaking into shops and houses.

According to the Commander, the Corps would not relent in its efforts to rid the state of criminal elements.

He further said the government was resolute in its determination to ensure that investors, farmers, residents, and commuters move about freely in the state without apprehension of attacks by hoodlums.

Adeleye said that the Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa-led government had directed Heads of Security Agencies in the state to flush out criminals who have been disturbing the peace of the people.

“We want to reassure the good people of Ondo State that Amotekun is intact and we will continue our 24-hour patrol.”

“We will continue to track all criminals from the cities to the forest reserves and ensure that travelers are not molested,” he said.
