The Lagos State Police Command said it arrested a 23-year-old man suspected to be a cultist on Sunday.
The state Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Sunday, adding that the suspect’s accomplices are on the run.
“The suspect and his fellow suspected cultists stormed a Lagos residential estate to avenge an earlier attack on their members by a rival cult group.
“Estate residents rose and succeeded in apprehending the suspect with his firearm while the others escaped arrest,’’ Hundeyin stated.
He lauded the residents of the estate for not taking the laws into their hands, and for promptly handing the suspect to the police.
The police spokesperson said the suspect will be arraigned at the conclusion of investigation.
