For the second time in four days, men of the Ondo Amotekun security network intercepted 168 suspected invaders with dangerous charms. They were said to hid themselves and 40 motorcycles under cows in two trucks.

Recall that the security agency announced the intercepted 151 alleged charm-wielding invaders four days ago near Sango along Akure/Ado road.

On Monday evening, the suspects were paraded at the corps headquarters by the Commander of Amotekun Corps in the State, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye.

He said that the suspects were stopped near Itaogbolu-Iju in the State’s Akure North Local Government Area after an Amotekun squad became suspicious of their activity.

The Amotekun Commander added that despite their claims, they were picked up in groups along the road and had no destination. However, after questioning, they were discovered to be traveling from the States of Jigawa and Kano.

“Cows are on the upper floor, motorcycles are wrapped and disassembled in the middle, and 168 people are resting down on the lower floors, so if you’re not observant, you won’t see them.

“Upon interrogation, many of them do not have an address of where they are going, nobody invited them, and we are becoming curious of these invasions.

“I called it invasion because you see over 100 able-bodied men concealing themselves under animals, it shows they are up to negative motives.

“As a Nigerian, regardless of the geopolitical zone, you have the right to lawfully go to any part of the country, but it is the unlawful part we are contesting. When you now move in a suspicious way, that would amount to criminality, that is where it puts you to question,” he said.
