Mr Jimoh reiterated the command’s zero tolerance to cultism and all forms of violent crimes in the state.
The PPRO said that efforts were ongoing to arrest others that are at large.
The state police spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Thursday that the command’s Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad arrested the suspects.
He urged residents to take security issues seriously.
The state police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the suspects were arrested following a distress call.
The Ogun government will soon enact a law to punish convicted persons guilty of cultism with the death penalty.
“Whoever is dealing with cultists and criminals must not compromise.”
The directive came in the wake of renewed clashes among rival cult gangs in the town at the weekend.
He ordered an all-out operation against cultists and their sponsors in the state.
Violence and threat of violence are major challenges to organising credible elections in 2023, says INEC chair.
