During the operation, authorities discovered a shrine, a coffin, and other fetish items inside the building. According to Idemudia Noah, the Coordinator of the Security Squad, the property belonged to a cult leader named Marvelous Adetarami.
The building was targeted after the cult leader and his members continued to gather there, despite the premises being sealed by authorities on a previous occasion.
The local community has welcomed the government’s decisive action, as residents had been living in fear due to the suspects’ criminal activities.
