Amotekun arrests 13 Fulani hunters in Oyo


 
Oyo State Security Network also known as Amotekun has intercepted 13 self-confessed Fulanis who were in possession of 19 dane guns and 45 dogs.

 

The suspects who claimed to be hunters from Kebbi State were arrested on Tuesday along Ido/ Eruwa Road in Ibadan, the state capital.

 

It would be recalled that the entire Oke Ogun area, including Eruwa, Igangan, Lanlate etc, has been beset with a spate of violent crimes, especially kidnapping for ransome.

 

The suspects were intercepted in a truck with registration number TUR 30 ZY Kebbi.

 

They were arrested by a team of Amotekun operatives led by Gbenga Olanrewaju.

 

Amotekun Commandant in Oyo state, Col. Olayinka Olayanju (rtd.) confirmed the arrest of the suspects.

 

Olayanju added that the suspects have been handed over to the police for further interrogation.

 

Public Relations Officer of the state Police command, Mr. Olugbenga Fadeyi confirmed the arrest.


He said the arrested men who had sacks of cassava flakes (gaari) with them, claimed to be hunters from Kebbi State going to Ilaju/Eruwa areas for annual hunting expedition.
