Operatives of the State Security Network Agency codenamed Amotekun have intercepted a bus conveying suspected bandits allegedly planning to invade Ondo State.
The suspected bandits, 18 in number had taken off from Kastina State before they were intercepted at Ondo town, headquarters of Ondo West Local Government Area of the State.
Adetunji Adeleye, the Commander of Amotekun in Ondo, said the bandits stormed the state in three 18-seater passenger buses.
