The Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps, has arrested a 19-year-old suspected serial motorcycle border armed robber with a name, Oyediran Ayomide, during the ongoing Ember border security patrol tagged Operation Le Won Jade.
The suspect, who hails from Kwara State, was apprehended in Ore after allegedly attacking a commercial motorcycle rider with a sledgehammer and fleeing with the stolen bike.
Confirming the arrest, the AMOTEKUN Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Jimoh Adeniken, said the suspect had been terrorising motorcyclists in Ondo state for a long time before he was apprehended.
The AMOTEKUN PRO said the suspect had been handed over to the Kwara State Local Government Security Initiative for continued investigation and prosecution.
Further investigation revealed that the suspect remained in Ore for some time before attempting to return to the area, believing the rider may have died from the attack.
However, security personnel in Ajue community near Ore, who had been on alert, eventually apprehended him.
When he was paraded ,the suspect admitted to committing the crime with the intention of using the motorcycle for commercial transportation in Ore.
The Kwara security outfit expressed appreciation to Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for his efforts in strengthening Amotekun and security across the state and expressed optimism for deeper collaboration.
