The police on Monday paraded eight suspected cultists who have been terrorizing the residents of Bariga and its environs in Lagos State, western Nigeria.

The suspects were paraded by the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr Fatai Owoseni.

The group allegedly burnt a house and set a 65-year old woman ablaze in Bariga last Saturday.

Among those arrested and paraded was the suspected leader of the gang, Tanimola Ogbere, also known as ‘Who Knows Tomorrow’.

Others paraded are Richard Abayomi, 30, Richard Ewa,31, Kayode Dada, 25 and Afex Olajide Fagunwa, 32.
Others include Nurudeen Lateef, 22, Mohammed Musa, 28, and Adamson Adelani.

The suspects were arrested after they allegedly invaded Bariga and burnt a house along with a woman.

Fracas broke out after a rival cult led by Ibrahim now at large reportedly killed two persons identified as Benmo and Abiye.

The incident in Bariga was a reprisal attack allegedly led by Ogbere.

CP Owoseni said that following the mayhem by the cultists the police went into action and arrested the suspects and their leader.

He assured that the police will continue to do their best in combating crime in the state and sought cooperation from members of the public for information.

This is good but the police is not doing a complete job.
Why? This cultists have rival called the DownTown
boys. The Down Town boys are never arrested, why?
Are the police biased? Before this boys burnt the said
house, the DownTown boys who are based around
Abule Oja and Abule Ijesha orchestrated a stealth kill of
two members of these arrested boys on Friday 22-2016.
The reason why the house was razed down is what I
don’t know but the police should do a complete job by
arresting both sides. All of them are evil and deadly.

There are still many of them inside ebute Ilaje and their
activities is disturbing the sand business in ebute Ilaje.
Anytime any Tipper is driving along Abule Oja or Abule
Ijesha and the DownTown boys accost them on the
road, it means trouble for the tipper driver and its
passengers, as money and other valuables would be
forcefully extorted by these evil DownTown boys

To me, these boys are easy to arrest because mere
looking at them, one would know them. And they most
times carry small bag across their shoulder. The bag
they carry is what they use to carry gun up and down.


My pain is that these boys would be released once the
police see money. Five of these boys were arrested last
year by the Eleweran police command in Ogun state for
stealing a car. Now the five people arrested are now
walking free in Ebute Ilaje Bariga Lagos. What
happened? Has the case been swept under the carpet?
Or the court of law of competent jurisdiction discharged
and acquitted them? I guess not.
Just yesterday, 24-01-2016, the police patrol van
stationed in Ebute Ilaje Bariga to patrol the area left the
place and immediately, the cultists started
their usual Sunday meeting. And just immediately the
cultists finished their meeting, the police van returned to its normal parking place. Was that a coincidence? Or planned? The police is doing nothing! Absolutely nothing! They wine and dine with evil boys they are supposed to
arrest! Who does that?! I’ve seen with my eyes where
some top shots of this boys in Ebute Ilaje
Bariga buy drinks and give money to the policemen that
are supposed to arrest these boys. It is an eyesore! Very
backward! A breach of trust! Aiding and abetting
criminals! There are many things I've seen and heard. I can't say it all. Only God can save us
