Ondo State Security Network, Amotekun Corps said it has deployed its personnel to neighbouring Ekiti State to help secure release of the kidnapped pupils and arrest the kidnappers.
Commander of the Ondo Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adeleye Adetunji, said Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa ordered deployment of the personnel to Ekiti State.
Akogun Adeleye said discreet investigation has commenced into the suspects arrested in Ekiti State.
He warned hunters from other parts of the country to make their presence known to relevant authorities before going into the forest to hunt animals.
The Ondo Amotekun Commander said solution to rising insecurity across the country was for creation of State police.
He said it has been difficult for Amotekun operatives to move into states like Edo and Kogi to arrest suspectsd kidnappers due to lack of collaboration.
He said: “There is decline in kidnapping activities in the state. Security agencies will not relent until the last kidnapper has been sent away.
“The Governor directed we move to assist in the security situation in Ekiti State. We deployed 100 personnel and seen arrest have been made. We will continue until the criminals are arrested.
“There is sudden upsurge of visitors to the state in the name of hunting. The state government has demanded approval must be sought before entering the forest. As a Nigerian, you can go anywhere in the country but you have to follow laid down resolution.”
