The Delta State Police Command says it has arrested four suspected cultists in the state.

The command’s spokesman, SP Bright Edafe, told journalists on Monday in Warri that the suspected hoodlums were nabbed on Wednesday by operatives of the CP-Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT) led by ASP Julius Robinson.

He said the operation was carried out in the Mosogar community, Ethiope West Local Government Area, where operatives stormed the residence of two suspects.

“During the preliminary investigation, a search warrant was executed on their premises.

“While searching, a black bag containing a fabricated Beretta pistol, loaded with two rounds of live ammunition and two locally-made guns, was recovered.

“Other exhibits recovered were eight rounds of live cartridges, multiple phones, a laptop and some fetish substances,” he said.

Mr Edafe said further investigation led to the arrest of two other suspects in Mosogar, adding that they were suspected to be members of the Aiye confraternity.

The command’s spokesman said the suspects were in police custody, adding that the investigation into the matter was ongoing.
