Four Underaged Girls, Others Nabbed During Cult Initiation In Ogun State - Mhiz Rebecca - 09-04-2017
Four underage girls, whose ages range between 10 and
13, were among the 13 suspected cultists arrested by
the police in Ogun State early this week. According to
reports, other male members of the suspected group
were in their early teens, and their leader slightly older.
He is 19 years of age.
All the suspects were, at time of their arrests, residents
of Mosunmore Village near Kobape in Abeokuta, the
state capital.
Stunned by the worrisome development, the Baale of
the community was said to have alerted the police,
sequel to the alarm raised by one of the suspected
girl's mother.
True to the allegation, detectives attached to Owode-
Egba Police Divisional Headquarters, led by the
Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Shehu Alao, swung into
action and succeeded in smoking them out of their
camp during initiation of another set of girls.
Speaking on the ugly incident, the state Police
Commissioner, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, disclosed to
Crimepuzzle that on Monday, August 28, 2017, at about
6:30 pm, a woman raised alarm to the Baale of
Mosunmore Village near Kobape, here in Abeokuta, to
the effect that her daughter went out late a day
previous.
"Apparently disturbed by the said outing, the woman
pestered her daughter who later confessed that she
was initiated into a cult group, a development the
woman found difficult to conceal to herself and alerted
the community head who, in turn called in my men.
"Consequently, officers of Owode-Egba Division
stormed the area and successfully apprehended the 13
youngsters in the process of initiating yet another set
of underaged girls", CP Iliyasu said.
The girls, all primary six school leavers, confessed to
being lured into the group by the boys.
Leader of the group known as "Penalty Guys", 19-year-
old Tunde Adio, narrated to Crimepuzzle how he was
initiated by one Tosin, also a resident of the community
in January, 2017, adding that they came about their
own group's name during the last Easter celebration
when his third-in-command, 13-year-old Adewale
Raphael's church was organizing a picnic.
According to Adio, "we decided to do customized vests,
with the the inscription "Penalty Guys". This was what
attracted the girls and agreed to be initiated".
Adio's second-in-command, Silas Sunday, 15, was also
arrested during the police raid.
Meanwhile, CP Iliyasu has ordered that the suspects be
transferred to the Anti-Kidnapping and Cultism Unit of
the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department (SCIID) for further investigation and
prosecution of the suspects.
