A 35-year-old man, Tunde Abidoye has been arrested by the operatives of Osun Amotekun Corps.
Abidoye was arrested with a single barrel gun in Ile Ogbo, Ayedire local government of Osun State on Friday following a complaint lodged at the Ayedire Command of the security outfit.
The complaint was that Abidoye was unleashing terror on residents of the town and destroying their properties.
Confirming the arrest, the Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Brigadier-General Bashir Adewinmbi said the suspected hoodlum was arrested by the operatives for terrorising the residents of Ile-Ogbo and its environs.
