THE Ondo State Police Command has
arrested four suspected cultists for gang-raping a girl in Ondo town, after
which they stole her handset.
According to the police, the
victim (identity withheld) was raped as she was being initiated by the
cultists.
The command said the rapists were
among 14 cultists arrested alongside six suspected robbers, three burglars, one
fraudster and four kidnappers terrorising the state.
Parading the suspects, the state
Police Commissioner, Isaac Eke, said items recovered include N11,000 cash, a
Toyota Camry marked FST 48 AC valued at N1.7 million, Scania Lorry marked KWC
232XA, among others.
Eke said the Toyota Camry which
was stolen at Odode Idanre was recovered in Sapele, Delta State, by police
detectives after one Afolabi Abiola took them there.
On the cult members arrested, the
police chief said they had been responsible for murder, rape and stealing in
Owo, Ondo and Akure towns.
According to him, the cultists
were arrested by a team of Special Anti-Cultist Squad, SACS. Eke said one
Alhassan Shittu was duped to the tune of N1.5 million by some fraudsters under
the pretext of awarding him a cable contract.
He noted that one Jimoh Ogbo of
Bako Kwali in Abuja was later arrested and had confessed and mentioned other
members now at large.
