“I paid N15,000 as initiation fee”- Suspected cultist arrested in Lagos
A suspected cult member, Uchechukwu Ndigwe, has confessed to the police that he paid a N15,000 to join the evil group.
Police arrested Ndigwe along with eight others in Amukoko community along Ajegunle, Lagos Mainland.
They were charged with crimes bordering on conspiracy, belonging to unlawful society, possession of firearms and other dangerous weapons.
Ndigwe said in a confessional statement: “The Police arrested me because I am a cultist. I belong to Aro Bag cult. It is for self-defense. I was just initiated four months ago after I paid N15,000 to join. I was initiated at Ladipo market. The initiation was carried out at night. I was tortured during the initiation.
“I live inside Ladipo market as I do not have a permanent abode. My means of livelihood is approaching buyers coming to the market to buy parts and taking them to shop owners where they buy and commission given to me by the seller,” he said.
Police boss in Lagos, Imohimi Edgal, said Ndigwe and his gang were arrested at about 9.45pm on April 8, 2018.
