Police in Ogun State have arrested a 34-year-old suspected cultist, Adekunle Adebajo, popularly called “Kunle Poly” over suspected killing of a member of a rival cult group in Ijebu Ode.
Popularly called “Mosquito,” on the streets, the victim was reportedly hacked to death recently with his left hand amputated and currently missing.
Ogun police command spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, in a statement on Saturday said that on August 12, a concerned citizen made a distress call to the Divisional Police Officer in Igbeba that rival cult members engaged one another where Mosquito was shot, cut with machets and his left hand severed and taken away by his killers.
The statement said, “Upon receiving this information, a team of detectives promptly mobilised and took action by moving to the location, where one suspect, Adekunle Adebajo aka Kunle Poly, 34, was apprehended.
“During interrogations, Kunle Polly admitted to being a member of the Eiye confraternity.
“This prompted a search to be conducted at his residence which led to the recovery of a Beretta pistol with six live rounds, two UTC axes, and charms.
“Investigation is ongoing to unravel the pattern of severing the left hand of their victims, and to arrest other criminals that fled the hideout.”
