The Ondo State Commander of Amotekun Corps, Adetunji Adeleye, has announced that the Corps has successfully foiled five kidnapping cases in the state within the last two weeks without paying any ransom.
Similarly, troops deployed to crack down some suspected bandits in some parts of Kwara State have arrested no fewer than 20 individuals, including suspected gun runners and their logistics supporters. Adeleye disclosed this yesterday during a press briefing in Akure, where 17 suspects were paraded for various crimes.
According to Adeleye, the latest rescue mission occurred within the last 24 hours, where a chief in a community close to Akure was kidnapped, and the Amotekun Corps, in collaboration with local hunters, pursued the kidnappers overnight and rescued the chief and an Okada rider without paying any ransom.
