Kwara: Cultist blames membership on hunger

Date: 2016-12-09

A suspect, Salisu Imam, has blamed unemployment for his involvement in cult-related activities.

He stated that he was lured into cultism by one of his unnamed friends, who, he said, told him that membership of a cult would guarantee him daily meals.

Speaking after being paraded by the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olusola Amore, on Thursday in Ilorin, Imam said he fell for the bait because he had no job and was always hungry.

He said, "I was jobless and so hungry. One of my friends told me to join the Aiye cult group, that once I am a member, my daily meals are guaranteed. These friends have been taking care of me before they introduced me to cultism and I was left with no option but to play along with them."

The CP said following the aftermath of cult killings that took place in Ilorin metropolis and the determination of the command to arrest the culprits, three suspects, Ibrahim Imam, Salisudeen Imam and Saheed Mubaraq were nabbed. He stated that during interrogation, the suspects confessed to being members of Eiye and Aiye confraternities.

He added that they also confessed to have been involved in series of attacks that took place in Ilorin, adding that three live cartridges and charms were recovered from the suspects.

Amore also said the command apprehended Wasiu Sodiq for alleged criminal conspiracy, disturbance of public peace and being a member of a secret cult.

He said the police responded to a distress call that some hoodlums had invaded Laduba area of Ilorin and were shooting into the air.

He stated that the police arrested Sodiq while a search conducted on him led to the recovery of a locally-made pistol and expended cartridges.
