Suspected cultist
The police claimed they carried out the arrest following the directives of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatia Owoseni, to rid the state of cultists and cult-related activities which have claimed the lives of several innocent persons in recent times, in the state.
I am not a cultist
One of the suspects, 18-year-old mother of one, Nora Benson, said she was attending a friend’s party when she was arrested.
She said: “I live in Lekki but I used to worked in Ikoyi before I fell sick and went for operation. It was not up to three weeks I came back. I have a two-year-old son but I am not yet married.
