According to a statement issued on Friday by the Command's spokesperson, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, the suspects were allegedly members of the dreaded Eiye Confraternity and were arrested following credible intelligence.
The police said operatives of the Command's Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) were deployed after intelligence indicated that suspected members of the cult group had gathered at hideouts in the Under-G, Yuako, and Adenike areas of Ogbomoso, where they were allegedly finalising plans to launch attacks capable of causing widespread unrest within the university community.
According to Olayinka, the operatives stormed the identified locations and foiled the alleged attacks before they could be carried out, leading to the arrest of the 11 male suspects.
