Amotekun Arrests 4 For Vandalising Osun LG Secretariat
Operatives of the South West Security Network, codenamed Amotekun Corps, Osun Command, on Thursday arrested four suspects for allegedly breaking into the Ola-Oluwa Local Government Secretariat, vandalising and stealing property of the local government in the process.
A statement by Osun Amotekun Commander, Brig.-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, noted that the suspects were arrested by operatives of the corps from the Iwo Area Command.
According to Adewinmbi, “On Wednesday morning, four suspects burgled and vandalised Ola-Oluwa Local Government Secretariat in Telemu, and stole Aluminium sheets, Iron tables, and some wheelchairs.
“Luck, however, ran out against them after operatives of Amotekun, after receiving a distress call from residents of the area, went after them and arrested two of the suspects escaping the scene with the stolen items.”
The corps commander further said the two arrested suspects later aided the Amotekun operatives in arresting two remaining suspects at large, adding that the suspects upon interrogation, confessed to perpetrating the act.
He added that the suspects had been handed over to the police for subsequent investigation and prosecution.
