Kwara state police command at the weekend arrested five suspected cultists and two people alleged to be armed robbers that had been terrorising the residents of the state.
Parading the suspected cultists and armed robbers before journalists in Ilorin, the state police commissioner, Mr. Sam Okuala, said that the affected suspects were arrested at their hideout at Oyun area of Ilorin, the state capital, following a tip-off.
He said: “Acting on intelligence, the anti-vice operatives of the state CID stormed the rendezvous of the suspected cultists around 1.00pm on the 8th day of March, this year and arrested them while preparing to go out on operation.”
Okuala stated that, the suspected cultists were students of one of the tertiary institutions in the country.
He re-emphasised the need for public and well-to-do individuals in the society to collaborate with the police so as to stem the activities of criminals in the country.
