Operatives of the Department of State Security Services(DSS) have apprehended Hon Damilare Mohammed, a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly representing Sagamu Constituency I, along with six other suspected cultists.

The arrests took place at the Mohammed’s legislative quarters in Abeokuta, the state capital.

The Lawmaker was accused of providing shelter to the fleeing suspected cultists, who have been implicated in a series of clashes between rival cult groups in Sagamu.

Reports held that the clashes had tragically resulted in the loss of eight lives.

The state government said:

The member, representing Sagamu State Constituency (1), Hon. Damilare Bello Mohammed, was alleged to have provided shelter to the fleeing cultists. A team of security operatives, in a sting operation after a tip-off, arrested the suspects in the premises of the lawmaker.

“Those arrested, according to sources, include Damilare Bello Mohammed aka DRE, Debbo Animashaun, Bamidele Saheed, Ismaila Onitire, Adewale Otesanya and Tobi Owoade. They are presently undergoing interrogation at the Department of State Service (DSS).

“Sources revealed that many dangerous weapons, including guns, were recovered from the suspects. It would be recalled that Hon. Bello was arrested by the DSS for masterminding the violent protest that took place in February this year in Sagamu over the naira redesign policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

“During the protest, irate youths vandalised about 10 banks and other public infrastructure.”
