The Edo State Police Command has arrested ninety-five suspected cultists and recovered two locally made pistols, one single barrel shotgun and twenty-four live cartridges in sustained intelligence driven raids of their enclaves in Benin City and environs for the past week.

This was confirmed in a statement issued on Friday by CSP Moses Joel Yamu, the Police Public Relations Officer, Edo State Command, and made available to newsmen in Benin City.

He said the suspects, who belong to the notorious Maphites, Eiye and Aye confraternities, were suspected to be responsible for the cult supremacy killings in the State.

“The Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, fdc urges parents and guardians to keep a tab on the activities of their wards in order to curb the menace of cultism,” Yamu said.

The police commissioner further warned youths in the State to desist from ing unlawful societies that could only dim their future and ultimately claim their lives or that of other innocent persons.

Meanwhile, sixty-four of the suspects have been charged to court and remanded, while investigation continues on the remaining suspects, according to the statement.

Are they not hunters?

Naija confra is working 👍👍🤣

Send them to life time holiday 😀😀🙂

Please lock them up till further notice

What happens next? Edo government should come forward with a renouncement plan and hand them over to a pastor, grant them amnesty as most are tired of the war. They are currently hiding.

When will they go & arrest Bandit Fulani herdsmen

I am just hoping the fight against the cultists in Edo state is not one sided

Let Al the cultists group be affected not just a particular group

Freedomguft:
Really

This early morning and you are already posting scam adverts.

Fear devil even if you can't fear God

Edo cultist na play
See firearms recovered from almost 100 cultists

95?

Subhanallah!

Only ninety five, una never start.

If I walk from the the Upper Mission end of Ewah Road to the Ikpoba Hill end on any evening, I can point out more than 95 cult boys along my way.

Thankfully Akpakomezer is going heavy on them.

Only 95?

Cus this their cheap toys eh

This is serious!

I'm not really surprise about Edo anylonger I'm just extremely disappointed by Edo youths especially and the most annoying thing is they are the ones who will come here and started shouting edo no get chill, edo no be Lagos, edo no get joy, it is fight to finish in edo, obidient shrine dey edo, edo is obidient for life etc now see what they have turned a beautiful state and beautiful people to. No manners, cultist Kingdom, extremely disrespectful, too insultive, yahoo ritualist kingdom just within 2023 to 2025 Edo turned upside down. It us really sad.

I have said it any state that carries obidient matter for head will ruin themselves, I said it here before and I challenged the edolite claiming obidient shrine is in their land to name one SE state that even allow obidient to breath even in abia no visible obidint exist but obi by his evil occultic manipulation from the horror of obidient out of his own region then sold it to some lack of sense from other region and they are all over the media space yarning shit.

My word might be too raw but that is the truth if obi and his obidient charity can not begin in Anambra then no need bringing it to other peoples state to cause character pollution. Full stop.

I challenge any obidient to name 5 igbo celebrity or businessman or politicin or academician shouting I'm obidient, let burn Nigeria down? The only people who want destroy their land for obidient are the Edo and some Yorubas, una no dey think?

Probably cultists. You can literally find them in almost every family in Edo.

One time, my uncle went there for a burial and got harassed by one of them at a bar (like an open restaurant). With his hot temper, he landed the guy a slap so hard star ✨ comot for the guy face. Dude was staggering like he got unplugged from reality.

Five minutes later, the guy came back—with his squad. If you see the kind of chase they gave my uncle eh! It was God that saved him—he managed to lose them at some point.

Imagine someone that came for burial now almost ended up in body bag. Chukwu aju!

For my uncle it wasn't just about the chase but how quick they were able to mobilize. Well I made him know that there are a lot of them there and they, cultist have a mode of communication when there is trouble.

Cultists and Fulani herdsmen terrorists? No difference. On a one-on-one fight without weapons, you’d probably faint them.

The same energy these cultists should be using against terrorists is what they’re using to kill themselves and intimidate innocent citizens. Cowards.

"Fulani herdsmen"

This cheap toys or M4/Ak-47, both kills.

They news mentioned 3 groups: Maphites, Eiye and Aye.

Which one do you belong to and think it's being treated unfairly
