The police said intelligence generated from the suspect’s arrest led to the apprehension of another suspect, Abdullahi Kareem Kawu, popularly known as “B-Red,” who is alleged to be a member of the Eiye Confraternity.
The command noted that Kawu is currently assisting investigators as efforts continue to dismantle criminal networks linked to cult-related activities within the state.
It added that preliminary investigations had yielded useful information on the activities of criminal gangs operating within Ilorin metropolis, while efforts were ongoing to identify and arrest other members of the groups.
Commissioner of Police in Kwara State, Ojo Adekimi, commended the professionalism and vigilance of the operatives involved in the operation, reaffirming the command’s commitment to intelligence-led policing and proactive crime-fighting strategies.
He warned individuals involved in cultism and other violent crimes to desist or face the full weight of the law, while urging residents to continue supporting security agencies with timely and credible information to enhance public safety.
The police said the suspects remain in custody and will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
