The commandant of the corps, Adetunji Adeleye, stated this on Wednesday in Akure while parading 11 persons suspected of crimes including unlawful possession of firearms, robbery and theft.
“In the last three weeks, we recorded cases of no fewer than 20 okada riders that have been killed and their motorcycles taken away,” he said.
