Ondo State Security Network Agency also known as Amotekun Corps alongside has arrested a 16-year-old armed robbery suspect, Sunday Ojo, nicknamed after the notorious armed robber, Oyenusi, who confessed to have participated in over 40 robberies
Ojo was arrested alongside two other robbery suspects, 13-year-old Timileyin Femi, aka Anini and 16-year-old Matti Lowe, aka Osunbo.
The teenager spoke with newsmen on Monday, 21 August, 2023 when he was paraded alongside other suspects.
“l have lost count of the robbery operations I have been involved in. But they can’t be fewer than 40. I was overwhelmed by an evil spirit that motivates me to steal,” he said.
The state Commander of Amotekun, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, described Ojo as a second-time armed robbery suspect.
“We have arrested a juvenile robber, who adopted the name of notorious Nigerian armed robber, Oyenusi.
“We re-arrested the young boy we arrested three years ago for illegal possession of firearms and robbery and took him to a juvenile home.
At that time, he was 13 years. The best we could do was to hand him over to a juvenile and see if he could be rehabilitated.
“Now, he is 16. This time, he broke into several shops and removed items. Between then and now, he confessed that he had engaged in over 40 housebreaking activities,” Adeleye said.
