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.

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.
