Three jailbirds involved various criminal activities in Ondo state have been re-arrested for being in.
67 criminals were last week apprehended by the Western Security Network code named Amotekun.
While parading the suspects in Akure, Ondo state capital, Akogun Adeleye, said the 67 criminals were arrested within the last two weeks of rounding up of operation of ember months programme.
The special adviser to governor on security matters stated that a good number of the arrested suspects were kidnappers,while some reasonable number of the suspects were identified by their victims just as some of them were arrested with different types of weapons.
It was revealed that some of the suspects involved in house-breaking, robbery and murders were identified as Taiwo Adeola, Juwon Olanrewaju and Olajide Olayemi.
One of the jailbirds was said to have escaped from detention in Benin, Edo state. He was answering charges bordering on kidnapping and robbery. One of them who claimed to be running away from fellow kidnappers because he was not joining them again was also apprehended.
Amotekun boss said: “We were also able to arrest him in what he termed his last operation in Kidnapping. Before we arrested him, he told us he is a member of a seven- team kidnap group terrorising Uso/Emure/Owo axis. These are cross sections of criminals troubling the peace of the state.
The security boss noted that the major reason for parading the suspects was to send a signal to criminals that Ondo state cannot tolerate them and the government is resolute in ensuring that the state is crime- free and it guarantees peace and stability for development.
The Amotekun boss reassured the people of the state that the Amotekun corps and all other security agencies in the state, especially military, NSCDC and police will remain resolute in their determination to continue to make the state safe for socio-economic activities.
