Ondo: Teenage armed robbery suspect disappointed as traditional bulletproof fails
A teenager, Sodiq Oyedokun, suspected of armed robbery, has expressed disappointment after the traditional bulletproof and anti-arrest vest he wore failed to help him escape from a crime scene.
Oyedokun was apprehended and paraded alongside 20 other suspects by the Ondo State security outfit, Amotekun, in Akure, the state capital.
Recall that allnews.ng reported the arrest of 21 suspects by the state’s security outfit codenamed Amotekun.
During an interview, Oyedokun revealed that the vest was passed down to him by his late father, who was a herbalist.
According to him, ”my father gave the vest to me. I kept it in our house since it was given to me.
He said it was the first time he had put the vest on during an operation, but he usually goes out with it when going out for an operation.
”The bullet proof vest failed me because I ought to have disappeared from the scene of the operation.
”I don’t know why the vest failed me. I was expected to have disappeared and not arrested at the scene when the Amotekun personnel stormed the venue of the operation.
Meanwhile, other suspects paraded included alleged kidnappers, armed robbers, and specialized motorcycle thieves, who are accused of causing unrest across the state in recent times.
Commander of Amotekun, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, stated that the suspects have been profiled and will be charged to court following the conclusion of thorough investigations.
