On Friday, the Amotekun Corps, a security network of states in the Southwest geopolitical zone, arrested a 24-year-old suspected rapist in Iwo, Osun.
He was accused of having had carnal knowledge of the 16-year-old girl while keeping her in his room for three days.
Retired Brig.-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, commander of the corps in Osun, reported to newsmen in Osogbo on Saturday that the security unit had detained a 28-year-old herbalist close to Iwo.
The herbalist allegedly defrauded some persons and was also found to be in possession of fake 100 dollar and N1,000 notes.
“The suspects were arrested at different locations in Iwo on Friday after reports were made to Amotekun about their nefarious activities.
“Upon interrogation, the suspects confessed to the crimes and were handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution,’’ Adewinmbi said.
The Amotekun commander urged Osun residents to always assist security agencies with information that could help to prevent crime and apprehend criminals. (NAN)
