Three suspect cultists have been arrested in Ogun state for allegedly compelling a young man to drink blood during initiation rites.
DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Police Pubic Relation Officer revealed this in a statement on Saturday.
According to DSP, “a young man as identified as Celestin Oyebuchi complained that some people suspected to be cultists forced him to drink blood and tortured him to join their group.”
Oyebuchi while speaking to DSP Oyeyemi said that, he was abducted by three cultists and taken to an uncompleted building for the initiation into their confraternity.
The PPRO said the suspects were nabbed onThursday following a report by the victim, Oyebuchi, that three members of Supreme Vikens
confraternity forced him to join their cult group.
He said the complaint was lodged at Igbesa divisional headquarters by Oyebuchi that he was abducted by the trio of Williams Omoori, Edet Godswill and Emmanuel Dimgba.
However, Oyeyemi said the Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered the immediate
transfer of the suspects to the Anti-Cultists Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation.
He added that the Commissioner warned that war against cultism in the state is a continuous one.
According to him, the Commissioner of Police said
there is an opportunity for those who want to renounce their membership to do so before the long arms of the law caught up with them.
