Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested three suspected cultists with arms and ammunition in the state.
The suspects, identified as Benjamin Okwufulueze (21), Augustine Ifeanyi (22), and Iruma Japheth (27), were apprehended in the Abraka area.
The command’s spokesperson, Edafe Bright, said the arrests were made by operatives of the command’s Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on July 30.
Bright said acting on credible information, the operatives stormed a criminal hideout at Big Gate, Campus III, Abraka, where the suspects were taken into custody.
During the arrest, one fabricated Beretta pistol, four live ammunition, one black cap with “Eiye” inscription, and one battle axe were recovered from the suspects.
According to Bright, the suspects have confessed to being members of the Eiye confraternity.
He added that investigations are ongoing and the suspects will be charged to court thereafter.
