Detectives in Ondo have apprehended a three-man cult group for allegedly plotting to attack some members of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) in the state.
The trio; Adeyeye Deji, Adesuyi Damilola and Abiodun Lekan were alleged to be on a ‘revenge mission’ when they were nabbed at Abusoro, in the Ijoka area of Akure, the state capital.
The suspects are members of the dreaded Eiye Confraternity who had been terrorising the residents of Ondo, police said.
