While ‘General’ was eliminated, two of his associates, Danger Boy and 2 Man, managed to escape and are currently evading capture.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Olatunji Disu, commended the officers for their exceptional work and issued a stern warning to cultists in the state.
Disu urged them to abandon their criminal activities and renounce cultism, stating that failure to do so would result in facing the full weight of the law.
He said:
“Upon searching the gang’s hideout, the police discovered a G3 Rifle and nineteen 7.62x51mm ammunition. Further investigations uncovered a camp Oderereke had established between Oderereke and Olokuma Communities.
“This camp served as a base for the cult leader and his numerous followers, from where they launched robbery attacks on innocent members of neighboring communities.”
