“Items recovered from them include talking drum, wooden gung, two kegs of concoction and a bottle of Gordon drink.

“The suspects confessed to the crime. Investigation is still ongoing to unravel other cult members.

“To this he end, the Commissioner of Police once again warned all members of any cult groups or anyone having intention to engage in any cult related activities to desist from such”.

The police command said its “Operation Murky Waters” was still ongoing and was determined to neutralise all illegal activities and those behind them.

Ugbo, however, enjoined peace-loving residents of Cross River to go about their normal businesses without fear of any kind. (NAN)
