Detectives from the Lagos State Police Command have arrested three suspected members of a notorious secret cult gang terrorising Ikorodu area and its environs.
The suspects described by the police authorities as the number one to three men of the gang were arrested on Wednesday with arms and ammunition.

He noted that the command is working to ensure that the economic activities and standard of living of the people are improved because a crime free environment will make the state buoyant.
He added that the suspects will soon be paraded. “We are fighting cultism, one of my major agenda in Lagos is to fight cultism, traffic robbery and kidnapping; these are the prominent cases we have in the state.
“We are partnering with the judiciary so that any of them arrested will be taken off the society for long so that others can learn.”
He added that the Command Complaint Response Unit. (CRU) will be more empowered and strengthened to take more complaints because I know that we are going to have more complaints this season.”
