Amotekun begins patrol of boarding schools in Ondo

Amotekun

Ondo State Security Network, Amotekun Corps,  has commenced enhanced patrol of boarding schools in the state.

Commander of the Corps, Adetunji Adeleye, who spoke in Akure while parading 16 suspects for various offences, said full surveillance had been mounted on schools with boarding facilities, noting that the surveillance was in the wake of the recent outcry of security breaches and kidnappings.

“In the last one week, we’ve visited so many of the schools, and mounted surveillance on all those with boarding facilities, especially the schools in the border towns of the state and the outskirts of the towns.

“We have equally stepped up the activities of our 24-hour Ember month patrol, which has also been enhanced at our borders to ensure protection,” he said.

The border patrol, named ‘Operation Le Won Jade,’ started on November 6 and focused on enhancing security at border towns.

The commander said the ongoing border patrol had really assisted in driving away miscreants, bandits and kidnappers from the forests.

“In addition, our regular 24-hour patrol within the metropolis is still ongoing and this has also yielded tremendous results.

“The total number of arrests in the last one week is 34. Out of the 34, we are parading 16. I want to reassure residents of the state that the security agencies are ensuring that safety of lives and property in Ondo State is guaranteed,” he said.
