Suspected Cultist Arraigned for Illegal Possession of Firearms

Date: 2012-09-12

A suspected member of the Eiye secret cult, Yemi Abolarin, has been arraigned before an Ilorin Magistrate's Court for illegal possession of firearms. 

He was arraigned on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, unlawful possession of firearms and being a member of the secret cult.

The prosecutor, Elijah Abegunde, said the offences contravened Section 97 of the Penal Code, Section 1(2) of the Armed Robbery and Firearms (special provision) Act CAP RII Law of the Federation 2004 and pursuant to Section 97(B) of the Penal Code of Kwara State in conjunction with the Kwara State legal note No. 3 of 2010.

The accused was arrested by policemen on surveillance on the Police Road in Ilorin.

According to the charge sheet, a locally-made pistol was retrieved from him when he was searched by the police.

He reportedly confessed that he bought the pistol from Peter Ibrahim, a co-member of the secret cult, who is at large.

Investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) showed that the accused is a member of the Eiye secret cult.

Defence counsel Wilson Nneji applied for the bail of the suspect in liberal terms, to secure his attendance in court in order to face trial.

But prosecutor Abegunde objected to the bail on the grounds that investigation was still on and the offences were not bailable.

Magistrate Ibrahim Dansuki ordered that the accused be remanded in the Federal Prison, Oke-kura, Ilorin, pending the completion of police investigation.
