Security officers caught the person who killed Nelson Adepoyigi from the ruling party. Adepoyigi worked as chairman for Ward 5 around Ose Local Government Area. Armed men took him away on May 13 when he parked his car at home. His house sits along Ifon/Owo Road near the local government headquarters. The kidnappers grabbed him right outside his front door.
Adetunji Adeleye leads the Amotekun Corps and announced the arrest on Monday. He spoke to reporters during a special event where 32 criminals were shown to the public. The arrested person admitted to the crime and helped officers find the victim. Security teams followed him deep into forest areas where they discovered the body. Officers also found stolen items that belonged to the family.
Amotekun returned everything to Adepoyigi's relatives after the search ended. State officials refuse to allow families to pay money for kidnapped victims. This policy has worked well during the past two weeks across the region. No ransom payments have been made to any criminal groups recently. The government maintains this strict position against giving money to kidnappers.
Officers arrested ten people for taking victims against their will. Two suspects face charges for stealing from innocent people. One person was caught for attacking a woman and another for illegal cattle activities. Most victims have pointed out their attackers to police officers.
Commander Adeleye says the state remains mostly safe for residents. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa ordered security rangers to stay stationed throughout forest areas. Officers continue patrolling dangerous locations to protect farmers and other workers. People should continue their daily activities without fear. Citizens must report strange behavior to Amotekun headquarters immediately.
