Amotekun arrests suspected cultist, burglar in Osun
Osun State Amotekun Corps has arrested a suspected cultist in Osogbo and another suspected burglar in Ila-Orangun, Ila Local Government Area of the state.
Brig-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, the state commander of the corps, made this known in a statement on Friday, adding that the two suspects were arrested on Thursday.
Mr Adewinmbi said one Sodiq Adelabu, 20, was arrested in Osogbo for alleged theft and being a member of the Eiye Confraternity. He said the suspect admitted being a cultist when interrogated.
“The second suspect, Sunday Oluwasegun, 22, a native of Ila-Orangun, was arrested for breaking into a house and stealing in Ila-Orangun Town.
“He was reported to have stolen some money and some home appliances before he was later arrested,” the commander said.
Mr Adewinmbi said both suspects were arrested after complaints were lodged against them and their activities by state residents.
He, therefore, called on residents to report suspicious activities and criminal suspects living among them to security agents, assuring them that their identity would be kept secret.
He stated that the arrested suspects were handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.
