Suspected cult members arrested by police in Ogun

Two suspected members of Eiye cult have been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for forcefully initiating a student.

The suspects, Owoseni Gbemisola and Ogunsola Ayo were arrested on Friday, November 19, 2021, following a report by a 21 years old student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (name withheld).

The student reported at Ago iwoye divisional headquarters that he was lured to Ijebu Igbo by one Yemi Justice (a.k.a. JP) under the pretence of going for a job.

He said on getting to Ijebu Igbo, Yemi alongside Owoseni Gbemisola and Ogunsola Ayo, blindfolded him, beat him and forced him to be initiated into Eiye confraternity.

Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Ago Iwoye division, SP Noah Adekanye, detailed his detectives to go after the suspects and bring them to book.

The detectives embarked on intelligence surveillance for the suspects, and their efforts paid off when Owoseni Gbemisola was sighted in Ago Iwoye where he was still threatening to get back to the complainant in order to bring him to their fold whether he liked it or not.

He was promptly arrested by the operatives who unknown to him were lurking around.

His arrest led to the apprehension of his accomplice Ayo Ogunsola who was traced and apprehended in their hideout, while Yemi Justice who has since fled is being hunted for.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to state criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation, with the view to charge them to court as soon as possible.
