Detectives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested four members of rival cult groups over their nefarious and criminal activities plaguing the Badagry area of Lagos State.
The arrest of the suspect followed painstaking weeks-long investigation into incessant complaints of cult-related disturbances and killings in Badagry.
The suspects, Gbenga Fransisco Olanrenwaju aka Gbengene, 40, Asokere Segun aka Seriki, 36, Adediran Ibrahim aka Kush, 23 and Jimoh Sodiq aka Irawo, 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. The suspects will 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.
