No fewer than 120 members of different cult groups have been arrested in the last three months in different parts of Ogun State, out of which 100 have been remanded.
The Special Adviser to Ogun State Governor on Security, AIG Sola Subair , who disclosed this during a security meeting held with the Akarigbo and Paramount ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, in Sagamu, said the war against cultists in the state is total.
Subair said the essence of the meeting was to brief the paramount ruler on the security situation in Remoland, especially in Sagamu, which had recently served as a battlefield to some rival cult groups, saying that the resolve of the state government to wage war against all forms of criminality has helped to bring the situation under control.
“As it is now, the security of lives and properties has improved greatly in Remoland, and the governor has equally promised not to give breathing space to any criminal-minded persons or groups because we all know that without peace, there cannot be progress or development. We need the cooperation of all to further sustain this tempo and keep making our state safe for all.”
Oba Ajayi particularly commended Governor Abiodun for providing another Armoured Personnel Carrier to support crime fighting in the town, saying that this kind gesture has also helped to boost the security of the residents of the community.
