A 56-year-old man, Ayo Akinpelu, has been arrested by operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps for allegedly stealing goats in Ipetu-Ijesa, Osun State, and using them to prepare pepper soup at his beer parlour in Ondo Town, Ondo State.
Akinpelu was apprehended after residents raised an alarm and intercepted his Lexus Jeep, which was loaded with stolen goats.
During interrogation, he confessed to engaging in the act for over seven years, revealing that he often lured the animals with salt before transporting them.
Commander of Osun Amotekun, Isaac Omoyele, confirmed the arrest, commending the vigilance of the community that helped in nabbing the suspect. He assured that the suspect would face the full weight of the law.
