The Osun State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps, has arrested three suspects for alleged involvement in burglary, theft, and rape across different parts of the state.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Yusuf Idowu Abass, the Public Relations Officer of the Osun Amotekun Corps, on behalf of the Corps Commander, Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Omoyele, on Friday.
The suspects were paraded at the Amotekun Command Headquarters in Osogbo following intelligence-led operations carried out by the corps.
One of the suspects, Kayode Adekunle, a 30-year-old bricklayer, was arrested for breaking into an uncompleted residential building at a new site in Osogbo.
He allegedly used his experience and access to construction sites to illegally enter the property after working hours.
Items recovered from the suspect include various electrical tools and wiring materials valued at approximately ₦2.5 million.
Operatives of the corps trailed him to his residence after a series of surveillance activities and arrested him with the stolen items.
Another suspect was arrested for allegedly raping a teenage girl in a remote part of Ilesa.
Preliminary findings revealed that the suspect lured the victim under false pretenses before forcefully engaging her in the act.
The third suspect was nabbed for housebreaking and carting away valuable household items from a residence in Ede.
All suspects are currently in custody and will be transferred to relevant authorities for prosecution.
