The Ondo State Amotekun Corps says it has arrested four suspected terrorists allegedly linked to armed robbery, kidnapping, and destruction of property across the state.
Amotekun Commander, Adetunji Adeleye, made the disclosue while briefing journalists on Friday in Akure on the activities of the Corps in the state.
Adeleye said the suspects have been handed over to the Department of State Services (DSS) for further interrogation.
“Through credible intelligence and sustained operations, our operatives were able to track and dismantle criminal networks responsible for insecurity in the state.
“During a fierce operation, Amotekun operatives disrupted the gang’s supply chain and arrested other members.
“The group leader that takes directives from somewhere outside the state was apprehended.
“Due to the sensitive nature of their operations, they are being handed over to the DSS for further interrogation and possible prosecution.”
He added that the suspects confessed to crimes which the state has been experiencing over the past eight months.
The Amotekun commander assured residents that criminal enclaves in the state’s forests had been dismantled.
Adeleye said joint operations involving the police, army, DSS, Civil Defence, and Amotekun are ongoing to rid the state forests of criminals.
