A 41-year-old man from Cross Rivers State, Isaiah Ezekiel and a 60-year old Togolese, John Koffi, have been arrested in Ile Ife, Osun State for impersonating as a police and Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC officers respectively.

They were arrested after they burgled a house in Eleweran Kajola Village Ile-Ife, where they stole a bag of cement by operatives of Amotekun.

Speaking on the arrest of the two suspects, Brig-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, State Commander, Osun Amotekun Corps, on Friday said investigations revealed that a mobile police uniform, a FRSC beret, an iron toy gun and items suspected to be charms, were found in their possession when they were arrested.

The Amotekun Commander said Ezekiel would dress in a mobile-police uniform, while his accomplice, Koffi, would put on a FRSC beret, when they went out for their criminal operations.

“The suspects were arrested after a complaint was lodged at the Ile-Ife Amotekun Command by a resident, who spotted Ezekiel around 11.00 p.m, with a bag of cement.

“Operatives of the corps swung into action and arrested the suspect, Ezekiel, who subsequently gave up his accomplice, Koffi.

“He equally confessed that they have both been robbing residents and burgling houses in the village for a long time.” Adewinmbi said.
