The cult suspect, Andrew Awalebi, 35,
who belonged to the Eiye Confraternity, was arrested on Friday morning
at a beer parlour in company of three other cult members around 8:00
a.m. Two other members of the cult group, Adegoke Adeleke (30), Kehinde
Adebogun (31), were also picked up early Saturday morning at an hotel in
Ikorodu.
Awalebi, from Ilaje Local Government,
Ondo State was given out by Michael Thompson of the same Eiye
Confraternity as a cult leader.
Thompson was arrested a night before for
robbery in National Stadium Surulere, Lagos. Awalebi disclosed that he
worked with a popular land owner in Lekki. He claimed that he earns N40,
000:00 monthly from the property dealer for helping to protect his
landed property in the axis.
He told investigator that the gun-shot
protective charm was specially prepared for him by an herbalist in
Ijebu-Isiwo, Ogun State, to save him from gunshots of land grabbers in
Lekki
He added:
“I was initiated into Eiye Confraternity
in 1996 by Banji Omisore, and later in 1997 I was promoted as its
topmost leader after the death of Omisore…. We are eight member cult
group. We meet very early in the morning or late at night. I have been
arrested by Special Anti-Robbery Squad sometimes ago when my cult group
caused mayhem in Jakande Estate, inflicting injuries on passers-by in
the area.”
Arrested alongside Awalebi were Michael
Thompson (24), Adegoke Adeleke (30), Kehinde Adebogun (31), Koffi Kwame
(17), Daniel Olayiwola (36) and Tosin Issac (26) as they all confessed
to be members of Eiye Confraternity.
While confirming the arrest, the image
maker of Lagos Police Command, Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo
Badmos, warned parents and guardians to be wary of their children and
wards’ behaviors.
“Charity begins at home. But this should
end in homes alone. Parents should help police to tackle cultism in
their respective localities. They should endeavor to report to the
nearest police station around them if they suspect movements of their
children. This will help the Police to nip the cultism to the bud,” she
advised.
The cult suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigative Department (SCID), Panti, for prosecution.
