The Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun Corps, has disclosed that no fewer than 400 cows have been arrested by the men of the corps in its ongoing “Operation Clean Up” in the state.

The state commander of the corps , Chief Adetunji Adeleye, disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Akure, the state capital.The commander also stated that the directive of the state governor that all local government chairmen should set up vigilante systems had been yielding results.

He said, “We started from the state capital and combed all the black spots and made over 400 arrests, before we headed to the local government areas and concentrated on the northern senatorial district ( of the state)  where we embarked on 24 hours patrol.“We engaged the services of local hunters and vigilante to join our men to patrol the forest.

Substantially, we were also able to drive out the bad guys in recent times. You will find out that most of the kidnap cases you get nowadays are at the border.“We have put out searchlight and we have mapped out security strategies to checkmate the activities of those bad people. Ose Local Government Area has a boundary with Edo and Kogi states and it offers an easy access way out. But we are checking them.”
