Police operatives attached to Elemoro Division at Imalete Alafia, Ibeju Lekki, have arrested three suspected cultists.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Hakeem Odumosu, confirmed the arrest while addressing the security issues in the state, particularly those in Eti Osha Local Government Area on Saturday.

He said the suspects are: Joshua Ubokuho; Emmanuel Yusuf, and Adewale Hammed.

According to him, the suspects were arrested with some charms and weapons including two cutlasses marked “Zero 4” which is the mark on the suspects.

“This mark has been subjected to investigation in order to get more information about the suspects and their group.

“The police have also recovered their operational bus,” he said.

Odumosu, however, vowed to take the anti-crime fight of the command to the dens of hoodlums and criminals in Lekki and Ajah areas.

In a meeting with some stakeholders at the command headquarters, Ikeja, the CP emphasised on 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 more.

In the same vein, Odumosu has scheduled a meeting with the Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers on 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.

Odumosu added that the command has a duty to maintain law and order and public safety in the state.
