The Lagos State police command has said it arrested two suspected members of Eiye Confraternity terrorising the Addo road area of Ajah in the state.
In a statement on Tuesday, the command’s spokesman, Abimbola Adebisi, said the suspects were arrested based on credible intelligence.
“The suspects, identified as Idris Rasak, ‘m’, 26 years, aka Aloss, and Ibrahim Kazeem, ‘m’, 25 years, aka Asunmo Kebe, were arrested following intelligence on their alleged involvement in cult-related activities within the area,” she said.
She noted that the suspects reportedly confessed to being members of the Eiye Confraternity and led operatives to the Waterside area of Addo, Ajah, where a locally made cut-to-size pistol was recovered.
“The suspects are currently in police custody, while investigation is ongoing to establish the full extent of their activities and identify other persons who may be connected to the alleged criminal activities,” Ms Adebisi said.
The state commissioner of police, Tijani Fatai, reiterated the command’s commitment to combating cultism and other criminal activities through intelligence-led operations.
He urged members of the public to continue to provide credible information to the police to support crime prevention and enhance the safety and security of residents across the state.
