No fewer than 150 suspects were arrested yesterday by the police in Ondo, Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

It was gathered that the police at the Funbi-Fagun Division intercepted a truck conveying the suspects, reportedly armed with weapons, to an undisclosed location.

Sources said the suspects were conveyed in the truck with registration number KANO NSR 97 XZ.

They claimed they were coming from Kebbi State and headed towards Ore in Odigbo Local Government Area before they were intercepted at Lipakala Junction in Ondo town.

The operation, which was led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Funbi-Fagun, Olu-Ojo Ogunmoyole, also involved the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and the Department of State Service (DSS).

The suspects were initially detained at the Funbi-Fagun Division before they were conveyed in the truck to the command’s state headquarters in Akure.

A crowd gathered at the police station where the suspects were initially taken to.

Eighteen locally made guns, two jack knives, 22 cutlasses and several torch lights were recovered from them.

One of the suspects, who identified himself as Abdulahi Sheriff, said they are not Boko Haram members, adding they are farmers from Birnin-Kebbi, seeking greener pastures in the Southwest.

He explained that their movement was due to the prolonged dry season in the North, which he said has affected their trade.
