The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two suspected cultists accused of terrorising residents of the Addo Road area of Ajah, and recovered a locally made cut-to-size pistol from them.
The arrests were carried out by operatives of the Command’s Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU), acting on credible intelligence about the suspects’ alleged involvement in cult-related activities in the area.
The suspects were identified as 26-year-old Idris Rasak, also known as “Aloss,” and 25-year-old Ibrahim Kazeem, also known as “Asunmo Kebe.”
During interrogation, the suspects reportedly admitted to being members of the Eiye Confraternity. They then led police operatives to the Waterside area of Addo, Ajah, where the pistol was recovered.
Both men remain in police custody. Investigations are continuing to determine the full extent of their alleged activities and to identify other persons who may be connected to them.
Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Tijani Fatai, reiterated the Command’s commitment to combating cultism and other violent crimes through intelligence-led operations.
He urged members of the public to continue providing credible information to the police to help prevent crime and improve the safety of residents across the state.
