Commander of the Ondo State Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, has cautioned residents in the state against buying second-hand products without collecting original verifiable receipt of purchase.

Adeleye, who urged residents not to fall prey to criminals, said there have been lots of economic breaches due to the downturn of the economy.

The Ondo Amotekun Commander spoke while parading 20 out of the 68 suspects arrested for various crimes within one week.

Among the suspects were three teenage siblings who were arrested for breaking into people?s apartments.

The three siblings, aged between 12 and 15 were said to have broken into several homes to steal household items.

One Abubakar Usman who collected N2m from his victim was also paraded.

Adeleye said the Amotekun Rangers recently launched by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, had penetrated the forest and were able to stop five kidnap attempts within the period under review.

He said nine victims were successfully rescued.

According to him, ?The notorious portion of Elegbeka had been bombarded, and we are glad to say that the Amotekun rangers had infiltrated the entire forest around Elegbeka to guarantee the safety of commuters? lives and property of the people of the area.

?In the next few weeks, we are going to dominate Ala, Ago-Oyibo, Ogbese, Jugbere, and other forests.

In Irun-Akoko, we apprehended Bello Sunday. And we have a family that specializes in breaking into houses comprising of the husband, the wife, and the children, a family of robbers.

?I want to place it on record that Ondo State is very, very safe to commuters, to indigenes and people doing genuine businesses. Please don?t buy second-hand products.? (The Nation)
