Police operatives in Ogun have arrested 14 suspects over alleged unlawful assembly and conspiracy to breach public peace across the Isara, Ipara, and Ode axis of the state.
The spokesman for the state police command, Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abeokuta.
Those arrested are Solomon Shobamiwo, also known as “Solo Hot”, Farooq Ogunsola, Toheeb Abolade, Balogun Williams, and Ayodele Abdulkareem.
Others are Adedapo Ogunsanya, Toheeb Saka, Akpan Dara, Micheal Olakemi, Habeeb Olayinka, Dapo Adeola, Adetunji Adeyemi, Henry Kingsley, and Nanso Blessing.
Babaseyi said the arrests followed intelligence that members of the Eiye Confraternity gathered in a bush at Ipara-Remo to initiate new members.
“Acting swiftly, a joint team from the Anti-Cultism Unit and SWAT conducted a coordinated sweep operation,” he said.
