Among them is a 200 level Business Administration
student of the Lagos State Polytechnic. The suspects, as gathered, were
arrested following investigation into the incessant clashes between rival
cultists by members of a vigilante.
Their identities were given as Olawale Olushote
20; Idowu Gborokini 29 and Seyi Adewunmi, 26.
According to Olushote, “I was forced into cultism
by some of my course mates because of my built and intimidating looks. I was
told I could one day become the Capone. But I have never killed anyone.
“Rather, I was attacked by members of Eiye
confraternity, where I had gone to charge my phone. I did not know some members
lived in the area.
“They stabbed me with a knife and broken bottle
on the head. They even put some cartridges in my pocket, which the police found
on me when I was handed over to them. I don’t own a gun let alone cartridges.”
Idowu Gborokini and Seyi Adewunmi denied being
cultists. They claimed to be musician and bricklayer, respectively. They said
they were arrested during a raid by policemen.
When contacted, Lagos State Deputy Police Public
Relations Officer, Damasus Ozoani, said the suspects have been transferred to
the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, from where they would be charged to court
at the end of investigation.
