Osun Amotekun Arrests 27-Year-Old Man for Stealing Cocoa and Farm Produce
Operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps have arrested a 27-year-old man, Adekunle Obideyi, for stealing cocoa, bananas, and other agricultural produce from a farm in Erinmo-Ijesa, Osun State.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, December 2, 2024, in Osogbo, the Corps Commander, Isaac Omoyele, said the arrest followed a tip-off. “Amotekun operatives swiftly acted on the information, tracking down and capturing Obideyi in his hideout in Erinmo-Ijesa,” Omoyele stated.
During preliminary questioning, the suspect admitted to the theft and revealed that it was not his first time engaging in such illegal activities. Obideyi confessed to stealing farm produce like cocoa and bananas, which he sold to buyers.
The suspect was apprehended while attempting to hide in an uncompleted building after the theft. He has since been handed over to the Osun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for further investigation.
Omoyele urged residents to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activities to the Amotekun Corps or other security agencies for swift action.

Peter Obi Raises Concerns Over Nigeria’s Hunger Index Ranking
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.

“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
