Lagos Police Arrest 3 Suspected Cultists, Recover Firearms
The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended three suspected cultists during a covert raid on an alleged cult meeting in the Elemoro area of the state.
The suspects — identified as Christopher Amah (28), Bada Olusesi (38), and Magaji Yusuf (34) — were arrested by police operatives who acted on credible intelligence while on routine patrol on April 26, 2025. Approximately fifteen individuals were reportedly attending the gathering, but others fled the scene upon the officers’ arrival.
