The operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, known as Amotekun Corps, have arrested 28 suspects for various crimes across the state.
According to Channels TV, it was reported that among those that were apprehended is a 55-year-old alleged serial rapist, Ayodele Ijidakinro, who recently completed a three-year jail term for the same crime.
While parading the suspects at the Amotekun headquarters in Akure on Monday, the state commander, Adetunji Adeleye, revealed that 24 of the suspects were arrested for different law violations, a suspect was arrested for a herders-farmers clash, while the remaining three suspects were arrested for kidnapping.
He further disclosed that the three suspected kidnappers identified as Akpan, Alimi, and Emmanuel, were arrested in Akure, Emure, and Upeme-Owo.
The suspected serial rapist, Ijidakinro, confessed to sexually assaulting three women, claiming his victims were not among the six who testified against him. One of his victims, who spoke to journalists, recounted how he lured her by pretending he wanted to buy an agrochemical product she sells.
According to the victim, Ijidakinro carried her on his bike and started running at high speed in the bush which made her jump off the bike to escape but the suspect caught her, overpowered her and raped her.
Adeleye informed that the 28 suspects would undergo final profiling, and those found to be culpable would be charged in court.
