Police in Delta state has apprehended a total of 51 suspected cultists amidst their initiation ceremony in the Ogwashi-Uku.

WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that assorted arms and ammunitions were recovered from the venue of the ceremony.

This was made known on Thursday by Bright Edafe, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe.

The PPRO stated that on Wednesday, June 15, 2022, the Command received a tip-off that some suspected Eiye Confraternity Cult group would be marking their anniversary in Ogwashi-Uku.

Based on the intelligence report, the police spokesman said the command swiftly took action and located where and when the ceremony would be held.

Edafe said the state’s Commissioner of Police, Ari Muhammed Ali, consequently detailed the command’s Buffalo Patrol Team, operatives from Area Command Ogwashi-Uku and Ogwashi-Uku Division to storm the venue at Big Apple Hotel in Ogwashi-Uku.

However, the suspects on sighting the police took to their heels, and some of them shot at the police.

“But the operatives gave them a hot chase during which 51 suspected cultists were arrested, together with two cut-to-size locally made guns, one expended cartridge as well as Eiye Confraternity regalia,”Edafe said.

The PPRO stated that the suspects have since been transferred to the Command Anti-Cult unit (SACU) for investigation, noting that those found wanting upon completion of investigation, would be charged to court.
