The suspects’ arrest followed last week’s bloody clash between members of Black Axe and Eiye Confraternity.
It was gathered that six of the suspects – Samsondeen Musari, Senibol Pwel, Opeyemi Shoyombo, Kosoko Abiola, Joshua Oke, Adekunle Akinbola – were arrested last weekend at a hotel they lodged preparatory to the attack.
Aiye leader and the son of a politician, Emeka Ihuoma and the herbalist identified as Adio, were picked up on Monday night when the clashes resumed. Ihuoma was found with two guns and charms.
He confessed to some killings, while the other Eiye suspect, who is a Uniosun graduate, owned up to killing four people.
