Days after the military withdrew from checkpoints and highways in Ondo State, members of the state’s Security Network Agency, known as the Amotekun Corps, captured suspected bandits planning an invasion of the state.
The 18 suspected bandits were caught in Ondo town, the capital of the state’s Ondo West Local Government Area.
They were said to have taken off from Kastina and landed in Ondo.
The bandits assaulted the state in three 18-seater passenger buses, according to Adetunji Adeleye, the Commander of Amotekun in the State.
He added that two of the buses escaped while his men were able to intercept one of the buses after escaping from different checkpoints before they were arrested in Ondo town.
The suspects concealed different seizes of knives, swords and guns inside tiger nut bags.
