These are the faces of suspected cultists arrested by security
agencies at Sango-Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun state.
The 11 suspects, said to be members of a dreaded cult group, were
apprehended on October 11.
Ogun police image maker, Abimbola
Oyeyemi, identified the suspects as: Moshood Owolabi, Ibukun Adeoye, Yomi
Samson Faruk Salami, Olukunde Isaac, David Nwuzor, Olayemi Arukudu, Yusuf
Olajide, Nwanah Samuel, Ogunrinde Ganiyu and Chukwuemeka.
Oyeyemi
said they were arrested following information received at Sango-Ota divisional
police headquarters that the suspects, responsible for series of cult clashes
in Sango-Ota lately, were meeting at 13, Ago Adura Street, Ijoko Ota in
preparation “for another round of violent attack.”
Acting on the
information, the DPO of Sango-Ota division, SP Saleh Dahiru, had mobilized his
men and those of the So-Safe Corps, the Amotekun Corps as well as the Civil
Defense Corps to the scene, where seven suspects were apprehended as others
escaped.
Four others were said to have been nabbed with the
assistance of members of the community.
“They have all confessed
being members of Aiye cult group,” Oyeyemi said adding that weeds suspected to
be Indian hemp, Colorado and Bonky were recovered from the gang.
Meanwhile, the Ogun Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has directed the
transfer of the suspects to Anti-cultists unit of the state CIID for discreet
investigation and diligent prosecution.
