Ogun Police Arrest Cult Suspects, Warns Parents and Residents

On the early hours of Friday 24th of March, 2022, the Ogun state police command received a distress call that there was a clash between two rival cults at Oluwo area of Abeokuta, which left one person dead, in view of this, the Ogun State Police moved into action and quickly brought the situation under control. The timely intervention led to the arrest of a large number of suspected cultists who are now under investigation at the State Criminal investigation and intelligence department, Eleweran Abeokuta.

As an organisation saddled with the constitutional responsibilities of protecting lives and properties, the Command will not fold its hands and allow some disgruntled elements to make life unbearable for the residents. Contrary to the rumor being peddled on social media that cultists have taken over the city of Abeokuta, the Command wants to reiterate that the situation has been brought under control and our men are solidly on ground to checkmate the activities of these hoodlums.

In a statement from the police image maker, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, it was disclosed that the command launched a serious clampdown operation against any known or suspected cult member not only in Abeokuta but the entire Ogun State. The Command therefore appeals to members of the public to disregard the panicking rumours being peddled on social media and go about their lawful business without fear of molestation or harassment as the police assure them of their safety at all times.

Parents and guardians are hereby warned by this release to call their children/wards to order as anybody caught involved in any act capable of undermining the security of the state will be dealt with in the most decisive manner. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, said the police command.
