The Ondo State Security Network Agency called Amotekun Corps intercepted a truck conveying about 151 persons suspected invaders on Thursday.

Our source gathered that the corps apprehended suspects based on intelligence on the incursion of terrorists into the country’s South-West region.

The suspects included five women, concealed behind beans and rice bags inside the trailer.

The interception occurred around the Sango area of Akure-Ado Expressway when the Amotekun squad on a ‘stop and search’ activity became suspicious of their movement.

Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, the state Commander of Amotekun, said the suspects were hiding behind bags of rice inside the truck.

He said, “We intercepted two trucks conveying 151 people who were cleverly concealed behind bags of rice and beans in a way that one may not know the number of people tucked in the trucks.

“Upon interception, we asked of their destinations. Some said Akure, while others said Osogbo in Osun State. Although, we have not completed profiling them, as none of them has an idea of what they were going to do or their mission. All they were able to tell us was that they entered the vehicle and came to Ondo State.

“While searching the vehicles, we saw 10 bikes and various dangerous charms. If we check and we do not find anything on them, as long as they don’t have anybody that is ready to take custody of them in Ondo State, we will send them back to their various states.”

According to reports, the suspects were on their way from Kastina, Kano, and Jigawa states, heading to South-West states.

“Some of them claimed they are from Kastina, Kano, and Jigawa states, but on how they came together, they said they couldn’t figure it out, but that they were conveyed by the truck down to Akure in Ondo State.

“This, however, is not a good sign, following the security warning in the South-West states. While respecting their rights as Nigerians, we are not sure of what they are here for; we still feel that while travelling, anyone should have a mission and destination at where he or she is going to,” he said.
