The Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase had sent a SCS designated in the troublesome cultism-related violent crimes in Edo State.

At the moment, a total of fifty-six suspected vicious cultists linked to the recent cult related violence was arrested on Friday by the Squad and are undergoing interrogation.

 

Among those arrested were eleven highly placed persons including Olukoga David,  the present SSA to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, who is confirmed to be a ring leader of the cult group in the present violence.

Edo State government had denied to NAIJA CENTER NEWS on its officials involvement in the ongoing killings in the state, saying that police would have figured it out if there were any.

According to a source closed to Olukoga,  popularly known as Koga, the SSA is a senior leader in Eiye confraternity, adding that the arrests were properly done and one of those arrested are innocent.

The source said “He is really a senior leader in Eiye confraternity. The arrests were properly done. Non of them is innocent

“Most of them got their appointment as a result of the inputs they made toward the governor’s election using their groups. You know Eiye is bigger in Uniben and Ife than the other cults hence Koga’s place of prominence in Oshiomhole’s ranking.

“The police investigation will come to naught unless Arase stood his ground. There are enough evidence to indict them. None is innocent. I pity Koga particularly. I still don’t know why he will continue to use Eiye as his only qualification to get things. ‘

Information gathered has revealed that Koga who claimed to come from Akoko-edo in Edo State is originally from Ondo State.
