The Western Nigeria Security Network, Amotekun Corps, in Ondo State has arrested 31 suspects for various alleged crimes across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state.
The Commander of the Amotekun corps, Mr Adetunji Adeleye, made this disclosure while parading the suspects before newsmen on Wednesday in Akure.
Adeleye said the suspects were arrested for offences including alleged kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms and those that specialised in breaking of shops and houses.
According to the commander, the corps would not relent in its efforts to rid the state of criminal elements.
He further said the government was resolute in its determination to ensure that investors, farmers, residents, and commuters move about freely in the state without apprehension of attacks by hoodlums.
Adeleye said that the Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa-led government had directed heads of security agencies in the state to flush out criminals who have been disturbing the peace of the people.
“We want to reassure the good people of Ondo State that Amotekun is intact and we will continue our 24-hour patrol.
“We will continue to track all criminals from the cities to the forest reserves and ensure that travellers are not molested,” he said.
