ABUJA — Following the completion of investigations on suspected cult confraternities, leaders and members arrested on May 12, 2015 in Edo State, the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, has directed that the suspects be arraigned today.

The suspects, who were arrested by a crack team of detectives from Federal SARS, allegedly played ignoble roles in acts of terror, vicious inter- and intra-cult conflicts that led to destruction of lives and property in Edo State.

A statement by the Force spokesperson, Mr. Emmanuel Ojukwu, said: “The Police high command further appeals to members of thev public to continue to collaborate with the Police in ensuring that crime is reduced to barest minimum in their areas.”
