Just In : Amotekun intercepts Trucks loaded with 149 suspects, weapons and charms

As part of efforts to ensure that O do State continue to enjoy security of lives and property, the state security network, codenamed Amotekun Corps on Tuesday intercepted some trucks loaded with suspects armed with dangerous weapons and charms from entering the state from the northern parts of the country.

Amotekun corps nabbed 149 suspects in the operations that took place in three local government areas of the state.

The Ondo state Commander of Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye disclosed to newsmen while while parading the suspects in Akure.

He added, that the arrested 149 suspects have been profiled, while some of them are still being questioned.

The pertinent questions we are asking them, is that is “why are they hiding their guns?”

“If they are genuine hunters, why not come out openly, but one begins to wonder why they would come from the extreme parts of the country to hunt in a village, in a forest they have never been to before in Ondo state?

“No doubt, as Nigerians, they have the right to go to anywhere in the country, but they do not have the right to go with weapons.

“As hunters, we had expected that they would have made consultations to find out their limitations.

“In Ondo State Forestry reserves, the government is very clear, that if you are a hunter and wants to go into the forest, you have to register, so that government, the kings and the hunters will know that you are there.

“However, “We want to appeal to commuters, that if you have any reason to do your legitimate business in Ondo State, please consult the relevant agencies and to our Baales, the Kabiyesis and the good people of the State, we can no longer tolerate this kind of people without mission, entering our forest areas,” Adeleye said.
