Osun Amotekun Corps on Tuesday said it arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly stealing electric transformer cables in Iwaro Community in Ilesa, Osun
Brig-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, Osun Amotekun Commander, made this known in a statement, adding that the suspect was arrested in the act on Monday at 4:00 a.m.
“The residents alerted operatives of Amotekun from Ilesa Area Command to the crime, and our officers swiftly swung into action and arrested the suspect during the act. Similarly, Adewinmbi added that two suspected motorcycle thieves were arrested by local hunters in the Aisu area of Ede on Thursday and handed over to the Amotekun Corps.
He said luck, however, ran against them as local hunters who recognised the motorcycle stopped them and asked about the whereabouts of its owner.
