The police command in Ogun State have apprehended three suspected cultists in Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government Area of the state.

The arrest comes amid renewed cult clash which has claimed at least four lives in Abeokuta.

Daily Trust reports that cult-related clashes on Saturday between the rival Eiye and Aye confraternities in the Alogi, Somorin, and Obantoko areas of Abeokuta left at least four people dead.

In Ilaro, police said they arrested alleged cultists including 23-year-old Adebowale Idowu, 25-year-old Oke Ela, and 27-year-old Abiodun Segun.

The trio, who were driving an unregistered black Lexus RX330 along the Ilaro/Oja-Odan Road, were arrested during a routine stop-and-search operation.
