Anambra Police Arrests Cultist On His Way To Initiation Meeting

The Anambra State Police Command and members of the state vigilante group have arrested a suspected member of a cult, identified as Izunna Ifeobu, a 21-year-old native of Ugamuma village, Obosi, Anambra.

He was said to have been intercepted by the security operatives in the state at Eke Obosi, by Obosi/Nkpor road, on his way to attend an initiation ceremony scheduled by his cult group armed with a cut-to-size single barrel gun concealed in a bag. He later confessed to being a member of Baggers confraternity.

The state police spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed this on Monday, added that other members of the gang, on learning of the arrest, fled the venue of the initiation meeting, as he pointed out that the case has been transferred to the Anti-Cult formation of the police command for discreet investigations while efforts are emplaced to arrest other members.

“Further development shall be communicated,” he stated.
