10 cult members arrested, weapons recovered

The suspected cult members
Detectives attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), have arrested 10 suspected cult members of the Eiye confraternity at Papalanto and Ewekoro area of Ogun State.

The Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, said: “The suspects were arrested during a raid of some black spots in the state between December 25 and 28 2015. One Opadola Olatunde, Sanni Afeez and other members were arrested.
Three daggers, two locally made double barrel guns, blue regalia of the group and some charms were recovered from the suspects.
“The State Commissioner of Police, CP Abdulmajid Ali has given a matching order to all police formations in the command, particularly SARS to embark on constant raids of black spots in the state. The idea is to curb criminal activities of cultists in the state, so that they wouldn’t truncate the existing security arrangement of the command.
According to the image maker, the police would widen the scope of its investigation, to find out if the cult group was linked with any previous robbery operations or criminal acts in the state.

Ali assured residents that all hands were on deck to provide adequate security for all and sundry during this season and even beyond.
