Court remands 2 over alleged membership of secret cult in Ilorin
An Ilorin Magistrate's Court, on Thursday, remanded two men, Olapade Muyiwa and Olamilokun Moses, in Mandala Correctional Centre over alleged membership in Eiye confraternity.
The Magistrate, Afusat Alege, thereafter, adjourned the matter till May 11, for further mention.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the arraignment of the defendants followed their arrest by the Commissioner of Police surveillance team during a routine patrol.
Earlier, the Police Prosecutor, DSP Mathew Ologbonsaye, had told the court that the defendants were intercepted by the patrol team upon reasonable suspicion of their persons.
He said that an on-the-spot search conducted on them led to the recovery of one HP laptop, suspected to be stolen property.
Ologbonsaye added that the investigation conducted so far had revealed that the defendants were members of the Eiye confraternity into which they were initiated in 2015 by one Olore Moshood.
He also said that the defendants and their cohorts were the criminal elements terrorizing the people in Ora town and environs.
The Defendants' Counsel, Samuel Umoh, pleaded to the court to grant his clients bail but was countered by Ologbonsaye, who urged the court to remand the defendants.
The magistrate, however, ordered that the defendants be remanded in Mandala correctional center.
