Two detained in Osun for attempting to murder.

Nafiu Biodun, 21, and Tijani Dada, 30, were detained by the Amotekun corps in Osun State on Thursday after they allegedly tried to murder Lateef Sikiru in Apomu.

The two individuals were detained, according to the Corps, after an Isokan Local Government Area command complaint was made against them.

According to a statement from Idowu Yusuf, the spokesperson for Osun Amotekun, which was obtained in Osogbo, agents detained the suspects on Wednesday in Apomu at various locations.

According to the report, the suspects have been given to the police for additional questioning and possible prosecution.

The Osun Amotekun Commander, Brig. Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, (retd.), while commenting on the development said, “The suspects were arrested at different locations in Apomu after attempting to murder one Lateef Sikiru by shooting a gun at him.

“A complaint was lodged at Amotekun Isokan Local Government Command and the operatives swung into action immediately and the culprits were apprehended in their hideout.

“During the investigation, Biodun confessed to perpetrating the act, while Wakili said he gave Abiodun his gun with the motive that he wanted to use the gun to kill bush meat.”
