Following the suspect Friday Akinmade, accusation that the woman 65 stole his money from his room, he hit the woman with a plank on her head which led to her death.
The suspect was paraded with other criminals at the headquarters of the corps in Akure, where Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, the commander of the corps briefed.

“A 30-year-old man who engaged in malicious damage, cultism, and attempted murder of law enforcement agents. We have a 42-year-old man who attacked Amotekun officers in a bid to cover his nefarious activity by the name of Gbenro.
“We equally have Samuel Peter, a 21-year-old man, who engaged in an attempted murder, and one Akimade Friday, who outrightly murdered and killed a 65-year-old woman. This is a 20-year-old boy.
“In the same way, we narrowed down on one Segun Owolabi, 20 years old, who engages in stealing motorcycles and robbing to dispossess rightful owners. We have a gang that specialises in burgling houses, especially when owners of such houses are not in their houses. We have Toba, Pelumi, Ogumade, and Oriade, whose age bracket ranges between 22 and 25. We equally have Shegwo Yusuf, who engages in malicious damage to household properties.”
