Obideyi, who is an indigene of Erinmo-Ijesa, in Osun State, was
apprehended on Tuesday after stealing agricultural produce from a farm in the
community and absconding with them.
According to the Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Isaac Omoyele while
briefing journalists on Monday in Osogbo, the suspect was arrested following a
complaint.
Confirming the arrest, Omoyele said, “Amotekun operatives swiftly
acted on the information, tracking down and capturing Obideyi in his hideout in
Erinmo-Ijesa.
“During preliminary questioning, the
suspect confessed to the crime and admitted that this was not his first
involvement in such illegal activities.”
Omoyele said the suspect revealed that he would often steal cocoa and
bananas from farms and sell them to interested buyers.
He explained that the suspect was apprehended after committing the theft
and attempting to hide in an uncompleted building, where he was eventually
caught.
He disclosed that the suspect had been transferred to the Osun State
Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, for further
investigation and interrogation.
The Corps Commander while urging residents of the state to remain
vigilant and security-conscious in their communities encouraged them to report
any suspicious activities or security breaches to the Amotekun Corps or other
relevant security agencies for swift intervention.
