Suspected Killers Of Ondo Traditional Ruler, Olufon Of Ifon Arrested
Some suspected killers of the traditional ruler of Ifon in Ose local government, Oba Israel Adeusi, the Olufon of Ifon, have been arrested.
The identity of the suspects is yet to be made public because of the ongoing investigation into the killing.
They were arrested by a combined team of security operatives that stormed Elegbaka forest after the killing of the monarch.
Oba Adeusi was killed last Thursday by suspected kidnappers between Elegbeka and Ifon while returning from a meeting in Akure.
Commander of the Ondo Security Network Agency also known as Amotekun Corps, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, who disclosed this at a press briefing in Akure, said four kidnapped victims were rescued during the search for the killers of Oba Adeusi.
Chief Adeleye said the arrested suspects were undergoing interrogations.
Adeleye who debunked insinuations that his men were not in the bush said surveillance has been mounted at the farm of Chief Olu Falae to prevent further attack on the farm by suspected herdsmen.
He said the herdsmen have fled the area.
Similarly, the Ondo Amotekun boss said the “Operation Clean Up” launched on Tuesday led to the arrest of over 20 suspects from various black spots in Akure and environs.
He said some of the suspects were caught in the act of committing the robbery.
Chief Adeleye explained that Operation Clean-Up was meant to take the war to the criminals in their various hideouts in the city or the forest.
