As culled from Ojuasha, Twenty five suspected criminals are now in the custody of the Ondo state police command in connection with killings by cultism in Akure and other crimes in the state.
Twenty of the suspects were arrested for being allegedly responsible for bloody clashes among cult groups in Akure in the last three days and five others apprehended at an uncompleted building near the Ondo state house of assembly complex, Alagbaka Akure.
Addressing newsmen, the police spokesman, Mr Femi Joseph who said only three cultists were shot dead by rival cultists, described a report that about ten people were killed as untrue.
The PPRO said the command was still on the trail of other cultists who perpetrated the killings and insisted that those arrested at a uncompleted building were teenagers who engaged in neighborhood robbery.
The suspects arrested at the purported kidnapper’s den in Akure included Wale Ayemowa, bidemi victor, ojo odunayo & omololu Kayode james, admitted that they only engaged in shop looting and reside at the abandoned house as result of parental care.
