150 Suspects Arrested In Connection With Unrest In Ogun Communities

Ogun state police arrested 150 suspects from a cult group that caused unrest in parts of the state and state of Lagos.

State police commissioner Kenneth Ebrimson, while parading the suspects at the headquarters of the Ifo division of the state police command on Sunday, said the police would not sit back and watch criminals perpetrate the evil.

He guaranteed residents adequate security of life and property and warned against jungle justice.

“The police are the leading internal security agency. The police are burdened with the responsibility to protect lives and property and we will do just that.

“We decided to bring up everything we have in our arsenal to destroy these criminals in Ogun state,” said Ebrimson as he paraded with the suspects.

The arrested suspects are mainly young people between the ages of 20 and 30 and are reportedly linked to crimes in areas such as the Ifo, Agbado-Ijaiye, Sango and Ijoko axis of the state.

Recovered items include locally manufactured weapons, 52 cartridges, axes, gas canisters, among other dangerous weapons.
