“The Amotekun rangers launched by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa recently had penetrated the forest, and substantially within the week under review, we were able to resist five kidnapping attempts. We were able to rescue nine victims. That is to say that the kidnap attempt failed.
“The notorious portion of Elegbeka had been bombarded, and we are glad to say that the Amotekun rangers had infiltrated the entire forest around Elegbeka to guarantee the safety of commuters’ lives and the property of the people of the area.
“In the next few weeks, we are going to dominate Ala, Ago-Oyibo, Ogbese, Jugbere, and other forests. The infringement of the anti-open-grazing law is Mohamed Abubakar, who was arrested in Itaogbolu.
“There was a suspect who was arrested in Akoko by the joint effort of the police, the hunters, and the Amotekun corps. We are reviewing the case and investigation continues on him.”

On other arrests, Adeleye said ”Destiny Johnson was arrested for breaking into a shop where mobile phones, are sold. We apprehended Lekan Omotosho. The bad thing about it is that the owner of such premises had done so much and was getting ready to park into the house, only to get there and find out that the entire house had been vandalized.
“They remove cables, melt them, and sell them as copper. On burglary, breaking, and entry, we apprehended Michael Oluwafemi and Alamu Augustine.”
