The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fayoade Adegoke, has revealed that the state command apprehended some suspected cultists, setting up an occultic shrine known as the “Indian Occultic Temple” in Ikorodu.
Adegoke said this on Wednesday at the command headquarters in Ikeja, while parading 34 offenders arrested for various offences across the state.
Adegoke said, “On January 13, 2024, around 3pm, based on credible intelligence that some boys were seen making occultic practices around Agufoye area of Ikorodu, operatives of the command swiftly arrested one Ifeanyi Nwodo, 39, and Daniel Johnson, 32.”
According to the CP, the suspects were attempting “to set up their occultic shrine named ‘Indian Occultic Temple’ with the intent to defraud victims by leading them to believe that the oracle has the power to make them rich and successful.”
The police boss detailed that the shrine had several occult artefacts, such as a moulded human head and sculpted human effigies.
