The Ogun police command paraded 25 Buccaneer cultists, arrested during an alleged initiation ceremony in Abeokuta.
Parading the suspects at the command’s headquarters, Eleweran, the Commissioner of Police in Ogun, Edward Ajogun, said they were arrested along with three herbalists, who conducted the initiation.
According to him, the arrest was made following an intelligence report that some cultists planned to breach public peace, after conducting an initiation rite for new members in the Ita-Oshin area of Abeokuta.
Among weapons recovered were battle axes, cutlasses, Indian hemp, and cult costumes.
The suspects were among 59 others paraded for rape, kidnapping, murder, armed robbery, and fraud.
Three murder suspects were also paraded for beating a 23-year-old, Samuel Ajibade, to death for stealing two mobile phones belonging to one of them.
Also paraded was one Tunde Bello, a taxi driver, accused of abducting and raping a 29-year-old lady, while on her way to work last September, and collected N140,000 before she was released.
