Oyo State is fast becoming the epic centre of insecurity in the Southwest as events keep unfolding in rapid successions in the last couple of days.
Again on Tuesday, hours after the house of Sunday Igboho was razed down by unknown hoodlums, the Oyo State Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps arrested 25 suspected herdsmen in possession of about 25 Dane guns and ten dogs.
The suspects were intercepted in a truck with registration number TUR 30 ZY Kebbi.
The operatives were led by one Gbenga Olanrewaju on routine patrol.
The Commandant, Col. Olayinka Olayanju (rtd.) confirmed the development adding that the suspects have been handed over to the police for further interrogation.
