Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two individuals in connection with cult-related activities in Sango-Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State. The suspects, Abiodun Salami and Destiny Adeola, were apprehended by the state’s Anti-Robbery Squad on August 8, 2024, following a tip-off from residents in the Ijoko area.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, revealed that the suspects were among a group of individuals identified as members of the Eiye Confraternity, who had gathered at a location in Ijoko. Upon noticing the approaching police squad, the group attempted to flee, but Salami and Adeola were captured.
