28 crime suspects have been detained in various locations of the state as a result of operations of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as the Amotekun Corps.
Among them is a 55-year-old alleged serial rapist, Ayodele Ijidakinro, who had recently completed a three-year jail term for the same crime.
Parading the suspects on Monday at the headquarters of Amotekun Corps in Akure, the Ondo Amotekun Commander, Adetunji Adeleye, disclosed that 24 of the suspects were apprehended for various breaches of law and order, one for herders/farmers clashes and three for kidnapping.
He added that three suspected kidnappers, Akpan, Alimi, and Emmanuel, were arrested in Akure, Emure, and Upeme-Owo, respectively.
