"Amotekun Cracks Down: Three Arrested for Stealing 97 Goats in Osun"

 


The Osun State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps, has arrested three suspects for their alleged involvement in the theft of ninety-seven (97) goats in Ila-Orangun, Osun State.



The suspects, identified as Ajayi Tope (34), an indigene of Ila-Orangun; Babalola Afeez (46), an indigene of Ado-Ekiti; and Tajudeen Isiaka (46), also from Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, were apprehended in the midnight of December 31, 2024, by operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps, Ila-Orangun Command.


The arrest followed a complaint lodged by residents of Ila-Orangun over the persistent disappearance of goats in the community. 


Acting swiftly on the report, Amotekun operatives placed the suspected perpetrators under surveillance. The suspects were eventually caught in the act when they returned to the town late at night to steal more goats and were arrested on the spot.


Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects confessed to the crime, admitting that the operation was not their first. According to their confession, they had carried out similar thefts in the town on eight different occasions.


They further disclosed that all stolen goats were sold to their alleged leader, Ibrahim Akona, based in Ado-Ekiti, at the rate of ₦20,000 per goat after each successful operation.


Confirming the arrest, the Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, High Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, commended the vigilance and professionalism of the Ila-Orangun Amotekun operatives. He described the arrest as a significant achievement, noting that the suspects had been coming from a neighbouring state to terrorize residents through livestock theft.


The Commander stated that the suspects were apprehended after sustained surveillance triggered by complaints from the community. He confirmed that a total of 97 goats were stolen and sold in Ado-Ekiti, adding that efforts are ongoing to arrest the alleged kingpin, Ibrahim Akona, who is currently at large.


High Chief Omoyele urged residents of Osun State to continue to cooperate with the Amotekun Corps by remaining vigilant and promptly reporting any suspicious activities or security threats in their communities.


He further assured the people of Osun State of the Corps’ unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property, stressing that there will be no hiding place for criminals in the state, as Amotekun remains fully prepared to ensure maximum security across Osun State and beyond.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
