The police command in Kwara says a suspected cultist was on Sunday at the Ojuekun area of Ilorin. Two locally-made pistols and a cartridge were seized from him.

This is contained in a statement by the command's Okasanmi Ajayi on Monday.

“Acting swiftly on intelligence to the effect that, at the APC political rally on January 29, 2023, at about 1530 hrs, held at Ojuekun Sarumi area, Ilorin, one Safi Abolaji, AKA Ojulari 'M', age 44, of Kankatu area, Ilorin, was overpowered by public-spirited persons and policemen with two locally-made short-guns with cartridges and some charms found in his possession,” the police explained.

The statement added, “During the investigation, the suspect, who confirmed to be an active member of the Aye confraternity, who was also just recently released from the correctional facility after serving a prison term, could not sufficiently explain his presence at the rally, having confirmed to be a member of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.”

According to the command, an investigation into the matter is ongoing to establish his motive and to arrest other members of his alleged cult group.
