Four Suspected Cultists Nabbed in Ogun

Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have apprehended four individuals suspected to be members of the Aye Confraternity, allegedly terrorizing residents in the Ijoko area of Sango-Ota and its surroundings.

 

The suspects—Olanide Balogun, Olamilekan Oyedele, Adeolu Olayinka, and Abdulganiyu Azeez—were arrested during a police operation.

 

Confirming the arrests on Thursday, police spokesperson Omolola Odutola stated that the suspects were caught around 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

 

Odutola explained that their modus operandi included smashing car windows and attacking unsuspecting road users during traffic jams.

 

She said, “The police received a tip-off about the suspects’ presence in certain areas of Ijoko. A team led by the Divisional Police Officer of Sango-Ota raided the location. Upon seeing the police, the suspects attempted to flee.”

 

The first suspect was apprehended after a chase, and the others were later caught with his help.

 

Odutola added that the suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further inquiries.
