Oyeyemi said the suspect, who had been on the wanted list of the command, was eventually arrested by the Chief Superintendent of Police, Olanrewaju Kalejaye-led Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) in his hideout at Ifo area.
He said the arrest followed the suspect’s role in several cult clashes, which allegedly led to the death of some members of another cult group.

“The police operatives acting on credible intelligence stormed his place at about 1.30 a.m. on Saturday April 30, where he was apprehended.
“Recovered from him are; one locally made pistol, one live cartridge, assorted criminal charms, weed suspected to be Indian hemp and a cutlass,” Oyeyemi said.
He explained that the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered a full scale investigation into the past activities of the suspect with a view of arraigning him in court as soon as possible.
