The Lagos state Police command has issued a statement on the cult clash that happened at the Shomolu-Bariga area in the state yesterday, October 17th.

A statement released by the command’s spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, says 21 persons have been arrested in connection with the clash. Read the statement below

Yesterday being 17/10/2018, at about 1715hrs, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Pedro Police Station, received a call that two persons, later identified as Ibrahim a.k.a Small Japron and one Solo, (surnames unknown), were killed at a poitical gathering organised by Hon. Ademorin Kuye at a place called Home Touch, situated at No. 228, Ikorodu Road by Obanikoro Way.

The deceased persons, who had involved in several cult clashes, were on the wanted list of the police for leading several cult fights in the Shomolu, Bariga, Fadeyi and Ojuelegba areas of the state. They were trailed to the gathering by a rival cult group who invaded the arena and began to attack people. The fight was however brought to an end by the police who arrived quickly at the scene and made some arrests. Unfortunately for the notorious cultists, Ibrahim (a.k.a Japron) and Solo, they died as a result of injuries sustained during the fight.

Recall that the Command had on September 10, 2018, issued a press statement warning politicians not to gather in public places without notifying it to enable adequate provision of security and prevent hoodlums from hijacking such events. Regrettably, the host of the political meeting, Hon. Ademorin Kuye, did not inform the police of his intention to host his supporters.

Meanwhile, 21 persons have so far been arrested in connection with the case and are currently been questioned by homicide detectives of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) Panti, Yaba. Also invited to Panti, is the politician, Hon. Ademorin Kuye.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Imohimi Edgal has ordered a manhunt for the perpetrators of this dastardly act, vowing that the Command will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the authors of the crime are prosecuted.

He once again requests politicians to inform the police before gathering in public places. He notes that until the INEC gives the go ahead, political campaign at this time is illegal and those in breach of the electoral law will be made to face the full wrath of the law..http://gisthubnaija.com/

These days I see so many illiterates claiming to be cultist ,do they just initiate any miscreant they come across ...

Ademorin kuye should be arrested and locked up!
Idiot man! He caused it all.

My mum almost got injured while running cos of the mayhem the miscreants caused yesterday.
They almost stabbed her neighbor in the eye, if not for the fact that he dodged it swiftly.
