A six-man gang who specialize in hypnotising Ondo residents in order to rob their victims have been arrested.
The suspects’ arrest was made by the Amotekun Corps in the state.
Their apprehension was related to newsmen by the Commander of the Corps, Adetunji Adeleye, on Friday in Akure, the State capital.
Mr Adeleye said that the six suspects, who were in the habit of “drugging” their victims with chemical substances, were apprehended alongside twenty-six other suspects.
“We have a group of burglars that specializes in drugging unsuspecting residents of various houses, so, they will sleep off, brake the burglary, enter their houses dispose them of their valuables while some of them are raped.
“And because of the high dose of drugs they injected into their system, some of them don’t even wake up. We have been able to break that syndicate too,” he said.
The commander added that the suspects “don’t normally have direct access to the victims. What they do is to jump over their fences, and pump in with syringes these chemicals into their rooms, wait for about 30 to 40 minutes, and every living thing inside the room sleeps off. So, whatever they do, you don’t know again.”
