The police in Ogun State said yesterday that they have arrested 23 suspected cultists at an initiation ground at Ilaporu in Awa-Ijebu.
The suspects were reportedly arrested on Wednesday night by policemen attached to Awa-Ijebu Division.
Those arrested were identified as Samson Oyetusi, Bankole Tunde, Akorede Samson, Dapo Kukoyi, Onafeko Toheeb, Afolabi Wasiu, Adedimeji Mathew, Arewa Samson, Akintunde Oalsunkanmi and Okejimi Oluyole.

Police spokesman Abimbola Oyeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), said the suspects had planned to unleash mayhem after initiating new members in their fold.
He said they came from areas such as Ijebu-Igbo, Ago-Iwoye and Oru-Ijebu for that purpose.
“As soon as they gathered there, policemen attached to Awa-Ijebu Division, through technical and human intelligence gathering, got wind of the unlawful assembly. The DPO Awa-Ijebu, SP Olu Monday, led his anti-robbery team to the scene where 23 members of the group were arrested.
“Police Commissioner Ahmed Iliyasu has ordered the transfer of the suspects to Anti-Cultism/Kidnapping section for investigation and prosecution,” said Oyeyemi.
