A rampaging tout pretending to be a mad man has been apprehended for alleged kidnapping in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The culprit, simply identified as Dele, was nabbed on Monday around the Isikan area in the capital city.

An eyewitness told our correspondent that the supposedly mad man, who kept wandering the area alone, was suspected to be in possession of a “mobile phone” while acting funny.

The witness, who asked not to be named, disclosed that the action aroused the interest of residents of the vicinity, who immediately called for active vigilance.

He said the culprit was quickly surrounded and handed over to the officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

Pedro Awili, the Commandant of the NSCDC in Ondo State, confirmed his arrest on Tuesday afternoon.

Awili said the culprit was handed to the Corps’ Quick Respons Squad (QRS) for immediate arrest.

He later paraded the arrested culprit and seven other criminals for various offences before journalists at the command’s Alagbaka office.
