The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three suspected cultists, Abass Oluwatosin, Babatunde Daniel, and Fagboun Idris, and recovered three locally made guns.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, who mentioned the incident, said the Police arrested both suspects on 31st of July 2023 at about 4:30 Pm after receiving complaints concerning their activities.
These complaints, it was gathered, caused Owohunwa to order a raid of White sand and environs in Ijora, leading to the arrests and recoveries.
Owohunwa said: “Three locally made guns, illicit drugs, and a large quantity of substances suspected to be Indian hemp were also recovered from their hideout. Investigation reveals they have no fixed address while efforts are on to arrest fleeing suspects. Suspects will be arraigned.”
