Precious said, “In Laosun, I have raped nine girls. Some of them are 19 or 25 years, in the night, I will go into their rooms and start sleeping with them. I do not use gun or knives to threaten them. Sometimes I would be caught and they would beat me and leave me. I have been arrested before. I was arrested for stealing 25 litres of palm oil. I wanted to gather money to use it to buy phone. I came to the house and saw my brother’s wife sleeping naked. I went into the room and slept with her.”
Adeleye further told journalists that some kidnappers were arrested across bushes in the state and ransoms they collected from victims were also recovered.
He warned law offenders and kidnappers that Ondo State will not be a haven for their business, stating men of the operatives will continually trail and arrested them to face the law.
Adeleye said, “Some kidnap suspects were arrested with huge sums of money in an area where ransom payment was made. During this yuletide period, it is zero tolerance to criminal activities in Ondo.
“We have about 300 men on all major roads leading in and out of the state. We have patrol vehicles. This is to ensure people can sleep with their two eyes closed,” he added.
