Police arrest four over cultism in Badagry

CITIZENS COMPASS- FOUR members of rival cult groups are currently in Police net over their nefarious and criminal activities plaguing the Badagry area of Lagos State.

The arrest was carried out by Detectives of the Lagos State Police Command during an operation.

This followed a painstaking weeks-long investigation into incessant complaints of cult-related disturbances and killings in Badagry.

The Command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement, said the suspects, Gbenga Fransisco Olanrenwaju aka Gbengene ‘m’ aged 40, Asokere Segun aka Seriki ‘m’ aged 36, Adediran Ibrahim aka Kush ‘m’ aged 23 and Jimoh Sodiq aka Irawo ‘m’ aged 27 were arrested in various parts of Badagry Lagos State in an operation that lasted days.

Preliminary investigation reveals that the suspects belong to Eiye and Aiye confraternities. Suspects would be arraigned at the conclusion of a more comprehensive investigation.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has assured Lagosians that the Command will continue to combat cultism and related crimes towards ensuring lasting peace in the state.
