L-R: Suspected cultist, Wasiu Opeyemi and welder, Aliu Tijani
Eko Hot Blog reports that the Lagos State Police Command has recaptured a suspected cultist, Wasiu Opeyemi, nearly two years after he escaped police custody.
Opeyemi escaped police custody in August 2021 in handcuffs.
A welder, Aliu Tijani, subsequently helped the fugitive cut off his restraint.
In a terse statement on Sunday, the police spokesperson in Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that Tijani was arrested alongside Opeyemi whom he aided and abetted.

“Last week, he was rearrested alongside Aliu Tijani, the welder who cut off the handcuffs when he escaped the first time.
