Mr Adewinmbi called on state residents to always give prompt and adequate information to help curb crimes.
Brig-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, state commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, says the corps arrested two suspects for impersonating police and road safety officers and stealing in Ile-Ife.
Mr Adewinmbi, in a statement on Friday, said the suspects, Isaiah Ezekiel, 41, from Cross River and John Koffi, 60, from Togo, on Thursday, conspired and burgled a house in Eleweran Kajola Village Ile-Ife, where they stole a bag of cement.
He said Mr Ezekiel would dress in a mobile police uniform, while his accomplice, Mr Koffi, would put on a Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) barret 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 confessed that they have been robbing residents and burgling houses in the village for a long time,” Mr Adewinmbi said
The corps commander said a mobile police uniform, an FRSC barret, an iron toy gun and items suspected to be charms were found in their possession when they were arrested.
He said the suspects had been handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.
