**Security On The Rise: Amotekun Cracks Down On Criminals In Ondo** In a significant boost to security in Ondo State, the Amotekun Corps has made a string of arrests, netting no fewer than 95 suspected criminals across the state's 18 local government areas. The operation, carried out with the support of other security agencies including the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Department of State Services, and Nigerian Army, has sent a clear message to would-be offenders that Ondo State is not a safe haven for crime. According to Akogun Adeleye, the Amotekun Commander in the state, the suspects were arrested for a range of crimes including kidnapping, stealing, burglary, and illegal mining. The arrests, which took place in various locations across the state, including Ilu-Abo, Akure; Idogun-Ugbe; Alagbaka area; Ayede, Akure; Iloro Camp; and Ogbese in Akure North Local Government Area, have been hailed as a major success. Adeleye attributed the success of the operation to the collaborative efforts of all the security agencies in the state, which have been working together to track down and apprehend suspected criminals. He warned that the Amotekun Corps and its partners will continue to work together to ensure the safety of lives and property in the state, and that anyone found engaging in criminal activities will face decisive action. The arrests, which included 12 suspects linked to kidnapping, have been seen as a major boost to security in the state, particularly in the restive Akure North Local Government Area. With the ongoing joint operation, residents are hoping for a sustained reduction in crime and improved security in the area. The Amotekun Commander's message to criminal elements is clear: Ondo State is not a place to engage in crime. With the security agencies working together, the state is becoming increasingly inhospitable to would-be offenders. As the people of Ondo State look forward to a safer and more secure future, the Amotekun Corps and its partners are committed to ensuring that justice is served and that the rule of law prevails.
