IG directs arraignment of suspected cult leaders

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, has directed that the 11 leaders of suspected cult groups arrested in Edo in May, be arraigned on Tuesday, having completed investigations into their matter.

Arase’s directive is contained in a statement issued by CP Emmanuel Ojukwu, the Force Public Relations Officer, on Monday in Abuja.

The statement recalled that the suspects had played ignoble roles in acts of terror, vicious inter and intra cult conflicts that led to destruction of lives and property in the state.
