“The suspects were specifically identified as participants in a cult-related clash that occurred on April 9, 2026, within the premises of Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo, where members of rival groups reportedly engaged in a confrontation that threatened public peace and safety,” Jimoh said.
The police spokesman disclosed that upon their arrest, the suspects cooperated with investigators and led operatives to a suspected Aiye cult hideout located at Oka Garage area of Ondo Town.
He said a thorough search of the location resulted in the recovery of one locally made English pistol, believed to have been used in furtherance of criminal activities.
