He said they were arrested on Monday at Ilo Awela in Sango, Ado-Odo/Ota Local

Government Area of the state following a distress call received at the Sango Area Command headquarters.

He explained in the statement that the police were told that some cultists had been seen with a male corpse in a tricycle heading for Ota with all of them holding weapons like cutlasses, cudgels and sticks.

The statement read in part: “Upon the distress call, the Area Commander, Sango Ota, ACP Monday Agbonnika, quickly mobilised a patrol team to the area, where the hoodlums were seen destroying people’s property and stealing from innocent members of the public on the Ilo Awela Road.

“The police team engaged and subdued them, and five among them were subsequently arrested.

“On interrogation, they informed the police that they went to a party in Mushin, Lagos and on their way back, a fight ensued among them and in the process, one of them was overrun by a fast moving vehicle and he died on the spot.

“They stated further that they were taking the corpse to the families of their attackers, namely: Omo Ekun, Lampard and Anko, purposely for a revenge mission.”

Oyeyemi disclosed that before the arrival of the police, the suspects had damaged one Highlander SUV with number plate KJA 275 GD belonging to one Emmanuel Adekoya.

They had also reportedly snatched an Infinix phone from one Falola Olushola and the sum of N50,000 from one Emmanuel Agbaje.

The PPRO said the corpse had been recovered and deposited in the Ifo General Hospital mortuary for autopsy.

He said the Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
