Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested two suspects over alleged cultism in the state.

The command’s spokesperson, Edafe Bright, said the suspects, Agu Nnamdi of Ohumere Quarters, Agbor, and Promise Banco of Iduwe Street by Ojeifo Street, Agbor-Obi, were arrested while allegedly mobilizing for an operation.

He said the police received intelligence that the suspects, allegedly members of the Eiye Confraternity, were mobilising at Ojeifo Street by Iduwe, Agbor, when the police stormed the area and arrested them.

He said the suspects, in a desperate attempt to conceal their activities, hid a locally fabricated pistol inside a black nylon bag, but the police uncovered the weapon.

He said the suspects are in custody and that investigations are ongoing to track down other fleeing members of the cult.
