Operatives of the Western Security Network Agency, Amotekun Osun Corps, have arrested a man, Yisa Aderibigbe, for allegedly raping two minors in Osogbo.
Brigadier General Bashir Adewinmbi, the Osun Amotekun Corps Commander on Saturday, said Aderibigbe was arrested on Thursday, Jan. 26, after a tip-off by the residents of the area where he committed the dastardly act.
The suspect reportedly lured his five-year-old and seven-year-old victims to an uncompleted building in the Akepe Area of Osogbo, where he raped them.

“I want to thank the residents of the area, who informed us about the incident. I want to appreciate them for their support,” he said in the statement.
He said the suspect had been transferred to the police for subsequent interrogation and prosecution.
While reiterating the commitment of the corps to fighting criminal activities in the state, he said Amotekun will always work with other security agencies to rid the state of criminals.
The corps commander, who warned that it is wrong to politicize criminality, added that efforts must be geared towards ensuring that the people are well-protected, in conjunction with other security agencies.
