The Command’s Spokesperson, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
The PPRO said Lateef reported that the three suspects have been issuing threats to kill him for quite some time now over his refusal to be initiated into the Eiye confraternity despite their persistent appeal to him.
Oyeyemi said: “he stated further that they promised to eliminate him since he has known them to be members of their group so that he will not expose them.

“On the strength of the report, the DPO Ajuwon division SP Andrew Akinseye who has been monitoring the suspects led his men to their hideout where the three suspects were apprehended.
“They have all confessed being members of Eiye cult group and that they were trying to recruit more members into their fold.”
Oyeyemi also said that the State’s Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered the transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for a discreet investigation.
“The CP also warned cultists in the state to make use of the opportunity given to them by the command to renounce their membership of those evil groups before the long arm of the law caught up with them,” he added.
