Operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as the Amotekun Corps, have arrested three herders for allegedly attempting to kill their Fulani boss.
The suspects, identified as Abdukadri, 25; Ibrahim, 30; and Yunusa, 40, allegedly rustled over 10 cows from their boss after committing the crime.
According to the Amotekun Commander in the state, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, while parading some suspected criminals at the corps headquarters in Akure, said the suspect committed the crime at Idoani, Ose Local Government Area of the state.
While assuring that the suspects will face prosecution upon conclusion of investigations, the Amotekun boss lamented over the surge in the influx of young and unemployed northerners in the state.
According to Adeleye, the situation, if not urgently checked, is capable of creating security gaps in the state.
āWe are parading a total of 32 suspects. Out of this number, 12 were arrested for contravening law and order, three were arrested for violating the anti-grazing law, while 17 are suspects linked to kidnap-related offences.
āThis represents an increase in the number of kidnap suspects recorded in the state. We also arrested Elura, Alilu, Adamu and Kamal, aged between 24 and 29, around Ile Oluji and Ondo town in connection with criminal activities.
