Read Time:1 Minute, 41 Second
Eight alleged members of a cult have been taken into custody by men from the Ekiti State Police Command at the Ekiti State University in Ado Ekiti.
Sunday Abutu, the public relations officer for the state police, stated in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday that the arrest on Tuesday came about as a result of men from the Command’s Rapid Response Squad stepping in in response to a distress call.
Abutu said in a statement on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, Adeniran Akinwale, that “at about 18:00 hours, the command received a distress call that some suspected members of Buccaneer Confraternity Alora Sea Lord secret cult group were conducting themselves in a manner that could cause breach of peace on the campus of EKSU.”

He said that eight alleged members of the cult were taken into custody after the command sent the RRS there right away.
Abutu listed the suspects as “Onifade Akinsola (400L Political Science), Olatunde David (400L Computer Science), Omoboyowa Olabode (400L Political Science), Daniel Oluwagbenga (300L Accounting), Adeleke Tolani (300L Sociology), Andrew Ochuko (300L Sociology), Bamiduro Olawale (CarryOver Student of Political Science), and Adelakun Omoniyi (2023 graduate).
The PPRO stated, “During the operation, some of the fleeing gang members fired gunshots at the Armoured Personnel Carrier conveying the RRS operatives and damaged the windshield. Efforts are in progress to arrest them and recover the weapons in their possession.
“Exhibits recovered from the arrested suspects are two yellow fez caps with Buccaneer Confraternity Alora Sea Lord secret cult logo and an inscription that reads – Santa Barbara Love Victory and Perfection,”
A fortnight ago, two students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, were killed by cult members outside the university premises.
The Edo State Police Command said last week that some persons suspected to have been involved in the alleged killing of the two students had been arrested and that the investigation was still ongoing on the matter.
