Two cult members terrorising Lagos and influencing kids arrested
Operatives of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, LNSC, have apprehended two alleged cult members terrorising Imota, Lagos State.
During a midnight patrol in the area, Adebayo Oluwafemi, 18 and Kehinde Olumide, 19, were apprehended with two deadly weapons and a locally made gun in their possession.
According to LNSC Chairman, Israel Ajao (RTD), the frequent complaints from the residents of Ori-Okuta in the Imota area of Ikorodu was not unconnected with the activities of the arrested suspects whom he said confessed to being members of KK-Confraternity and Aiye Secret cult respectively.
The duo were arrested in the early hours of Friday, March 10.
He, however, decried the influence of the duo and other members of the cult groups on school children within the area, especially the students of Imota Grammar School who engaged in nefarious acts.
In his words, “most of the problems that had arisen in the past from this school and the community as a whole is traceable to the activities of these cult members who forcefully recruit students and dispossess people of their belongings”.
He informed that the agency had mobilised its officials to the area for some fact-finding and additional information on the activities of the cult groups.
“The most important part of our operation is that in as much as members of the public continue to support us and provide us with useful information, we will not hesitate to extend our operation to any part of the State and arrest all evil perpetrators within the society and neighbourhood”, Ajao added.
