In its bid to curtail cultism in Ogun State and her environment, men of Ogun State Police Command have intercepted five suspected members of a dreaded cult group who were on a revenge mission to the state from Mushin, Lagos State. Also, the Police recovered the body of a young man from the suspects.

Although circumstances leading to the death of the young man could not be ascertained. Spokesperson of the Command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said investigations were ongoing as at press time. The suspects; Babatunde Shittu, 25, Ayobami Morenikeji 15, Fidelis John 23, Abdullah Adegbenro 17, and Oyeyemi Bakare 20, were arrested following a distress call to Sango Area Command Headquarters that a group of boys were seen with a male corpse in a tricycle heading towards Ota.

Also, the suspects were said to be holding dangerous weapons like cutlasses, cudgels and sticks. Upon the distress call, the Area Commander Sango-Ota ACP Monday Agbonnika, quickly mobilised a patrol team to the area where the hoodlums were met on a rampage destroying people’s property and robbing innocent members of the public along Ilo Awela Road.
