Operatives of the Kwara State Police Command have arrested eight suspected cultists and recovered firearms and other weapons during coordinated operations across Ilorin metropolis.
In a statement issued on Friday by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Ejire Adetoun Adeyemi, the police said the suspects were arrested following credible intelligence that led operatives to their hideout in the Akuo and Fagba areas of Ilorin.
According to the statement, investigations are ongoing to determine the level of involvement of each suspect, identify other members of the network, and apprehend fleeing accomplices.
