In an operation conducted by the Ogun State Police command, three individuals suspected of being members of the Eiye Confraternity, a cult group, were arrested.
This information was disclosed in a statement released in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, and made available to the media by the command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola.
According to Omolola, the Divisional Police Officer of Sango-Ota, CSP Saleh Dahiru, received credible information from an anonymous source.
Acting on this information, he led his anti-robbery team to School 3 in Joju, Sango Ota, where the suspects, identified as Dakwo Micheal Jackson, Joel Obieva, and Oluwaseun Bamideke, were apprehended while allegedly planning their illicit activities.
Further investigations revealed that the arrested individuals confessed to being part of a larger gang associated with the Eiye confraternity, consisting of five members.
Their leader, however, remains at large. The police continue to work on this case to uncover more details and apprehend additional suspects if necessary.
She said, “their intention was to meet at the school before carrying out their planned operation.
“However, thanks to the swift action of the Sango Division police, they were apprehended before they could execute their nefarious plans.
“The police are currently making efforts to track down the remaining suspects, who managed to escape arrest.”
Omolola added that the suspects would be charged to Court as soon as Police conclude their investigation.
