The Osun Amotekun Corps has apprehended three men for allegedly stealing vehicle spare parts in Ode-Omu, Ayedaade, Osun State.
The suspects, identified as Sodiq Oyedokun (21), Ojoko Ayomiposi (21), and Busari Ayomide (24), were arrested on Wednesday after attempting to sell the stolen items.
According to the Osun Amotekun Corps, the suspects tried to sell the stolen spare parts to a local scavenger in Ode-Omu.
The scavenger, however, refused to purchase the items and promptly alerted the Amotekun operatives, who quickly responded and arrested the suspects on the spot.
During preliminary investigations, the suspects confessed to stealing the spare parts from a mechanic workshop owned by one Mr. Victor in Akure, Ondo State.
They then fled to Ode-Omu in an attempt to sell the items, but were apprehended before they could do so.
Confirming the arrest, the Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, Dr. Hon. Adekunle I. Omoyele, stated that the suspects have been transferred to the Amotekun Ondo State Command for further investigation and prosecution.
