The So-Safe Corps has arrested a suspected cultist who has been terrorizing residents of Ogun State.
Spokesperson of the So-Safe Corps, Moruf Yusuf, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, March 30, 2023, on behalf of the Corps Commander, Dr. Soji Ganzallo.
According to the statement, the suspect was arrested when the agency’s special team responded to a distress call of possible attacks from the men living in an abandoned flooded building of 20 rooms at Oke-Ijeun Tuntun in Abeokuta.
Ganzallo noted that the team was able to apprehend the kingpin, Mr Akeem Yekinni, a 48-year-old man, who resides at the said building at Nawar-ud-Deen, Ijeun Tuntun.
He said that the suspect refused to disclose the rest members of his team and their mode of operation.
Ganzallo further revealed that after a thorough search of the room where the suspect resides, a double-barrel locally made pistol and a live cartridge was found wrapped with a cloth and kept in a travelling bag.
The suspected cultist and the exhibits have been transferred to the Nigeria Police, Anti Cultism Unit, Oke-Ijemo, for onward transfer to the State Police Headquarters, Eleweran for further investigation and likely prosecution.
