The police command in Delta State has foiled a suspected cult initiation at Orogun, Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, disclosed this on Monday in Warri.
Mr Edafe, a superintendent of police, said the initiation was thwarted on Sunday by operatives of the command’s Quick Response Squad (QRS) in an intelligence-led operation.
He said police operatives stormed the scene of the initiation at Orogun Community in Ughelli North LGA to frustrate the illegal gathering.
“Acting on credible intelligence that members of the Black Axe Confraternity (Aye) were conducting an initiation ceremony in a forest within Orogun, operatives of the QRS stormed the location. On sighting the police, the suspected cultists opened fire but were repelled by the superior tactical response of the police.
