Three suspected cutlass-wielding cultists have been arrested at Imalete Alafia, in Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.

The suspects who were arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command attached to Elemoro Division are Joshua Ubokuho, Emmanuel Yusuf and Adewale Hammed.

They were arrested with some charms and weapons, including two cutlasses marked “zero 4″ which is the mark on the suspects.

According to Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, the mark has been subjected to investigation to get more information about the suspects and their group.

He emphasised identifying and raiding the dens of the ‘bad boys’ who have been terrorising the good people of Lekki, Ajah, Badore, Sangotedo, Elemoro, Ibeju-Lekk, Akodo and so on.

The Commissioner disclosed this during a meeting with some stakeholders at the Command’s headquarters, Ikeja.

In the same vein, Odumosu has scheduled a meeting with the Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers for Tuesday 9th March, 2021 at the POWA Hall, Oduduwa, Ikeja, to review the Anti Crime Strategies of the command with a view to solidifying the security architecture of Lagos State.

He has also ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police, State CID, Panti, to take over the suspects and ensure their quick trial and the prosecution of other cases under investigation at the CID Panti as the command has a duty to maintain law and order and public safety in the state.
