Four kidnappers who are suspected to have killed an operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Segun Ayebulu, in Ekiti State, last week, have been arrested by hunters.
The kidnappers were said to have shot Ayebulu on the Oke-Ako-Irele road and also abducted three members of his family, collecting a N5m ransom before they were freed.
The Chairman of Ajoni Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mr Michael Ogungbemi, told journalists that, “The suspects have confessed to have perpetrated the killing of the NSCDC operative and kidnapped his family members.
“If not for the prompt action I took, they would have been mobbed by youths.
“Recovered from them are two AK-47. Immediately after the arrest, my office was contacted and I instantly informed the Amotekun Corps, Ikole Command and the DPO of Ikole for immediate detention, investigation and prosecution of the culprits. They are presently being detained at the police station in Ikole Ekiti.”
The Commander, Ekiti State Amotekun Corps, Brig Gen Joe Komolafe (Rtd), said: “They are with the police. The local security network worked with our operatives in arresting the suspected killers and kidnappers.”
