The agents of the State of the State of Lagos have arrested three alleged cultists during a private meeting in the area of Elemore de Lagos.
The suspects, Christopher Amah (28), Bada Olusesi (38) and Magaji Yusuf (34), were arrested on April 26, 2025, since the officers in the routine patrol intercepted the illegal meeting.
According to police sources, the patrol team received intelligence about an alleged cult assembly that involved around 15 people.
Acting quickly, the agents moved and managed to stop three members of the group.
A subsequent search for suspects led to the recovery of two firearms: a disfigured Beretta gun and a gun made locally, which was loaded with a living cartridge.
The weapons have been arrested as the investigations continue, with efforts to trace the remaining suspects who fled the scene.
The police commissioner, CP Olohundare Jimoh, reaffirmed the zero tolerance position of the body on body and other forms of organized crime.
He stressed that the police under his leadership would ensure that there is no refuge for cultists or criminal elements that operate within the State.
