The Enugu State Police Command has arrested two notorious cult kingpins engaged in nefarious activities in Ezeagu Local Government Area of the state.
The police recovered from the suspects one cut-to-size single barrel locally made gun, two axes and one machete concealed inside their bags.
The command’s spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement in Enugu on Sunday that the suspects were “strong members of Egede Ayes Confraternity”.
Amaraizu said that the suspects were nabbed on June 22 through intelligence information and partnership from members of the public.
He said: “The two suspects had allegedly gone with four other members of their cult group to a certain man in a house at Umuawata Amandim Olo community in Ezeagu Local Government Area to demand for his son.
“It was gathered that the man on seeing them and with suspicion raised an alarm and this led to the arrest of the two while four others escaped.”
The police spokesman said that the suspects had been helping police operatives in their investigation.
Amaraizu said a manhunt on the other fleeing members of the gang had been intensified within the state.
