According to a statement by the Corps spokesperson, Idowu Yusuf, the 30-year-old Ridwan was released from a Custodial Centre in March after serving a four-year jail term for theft-related offenses.

Ridwan was reportedly caught in the act by some worshippers before Amotekun operatives were alerted.

Brig. Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi (retd.), the Commander of the Corps, commented on the arrest, stating that the suspect had disguised himself as a worshipper and used the opportunity to steal an amplifier from the mosque.

“He was caught after morning prayer, thinking all the worshippers had left the mosque. However, his luck ran out when some worshippers saw him putting the electronic musical amplifier into a bag,” Adewinmbi said.

“Amotekun Osogbo Command was alerted, and operatives swiftly apprehended the felon on the spot. During preliminary investigation, he confessed to being an ex-convict who had just completed a four-year jail term for the same act in March this year.”

Adewinmbi added that the suspect has been handed over to the police for further interrogation and prosecution
