The arrest of Isiaka who was nabbed in Ada on Tuesday was made known by the Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Brigadier General Bashir Adewinmbi while addressing journalists on Thursday in Osogbo.
According to the Adewinmbi, Isiaka was arrested after he lured the minor to an uncompleted building in Ada town, Boripe local government area of the state.
