Ondo Amotekun Parades 97 Suspected Criminals

Ondo State's security outfit, Amotekun, has paraded 97 suspected criminals apprehended within a two-week period across all 18 local government areas of the state. The arrests, which spanned various offenses including kidnapping, were made possible through intelligence gathering, including the use of informants and even individuals posing as mentally ill people.

Commander of Ondo Amotekun, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, stated that the suspects include women and that the operation has raised concerns about an increasing influx of individuals from the North into the state's forests. This development is seen as a potential security threat that the outfit is actively monitoring and working to counter.
