Police arrest six suspected cultists, recover arms in Delta

Operatives of the Buffalo Squad of the Delta State Police Command have arrested six men suspected to be cultists.

This was made known in a post by the Command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, on Sunday, via his X handle.

According to Edafe, a locally cut-to-size gun and two cartridges were recovered upon search of the suspects and their vehicle, a black GLK.

The post reads: “Operatives attached to the Command’s Buffalo squad while on routine patrol along Ibusa Road intercepted a black GLK conveying six young boys, upon searching the suspects and the vehicle, a locally made cut-to-size gun and two live cartridges were recovered.

“Ordinarily, when people see Police stopping random vehicles for a search, passersby will say Police are harassing innocent youths.

“Our investigation has revealed that they are suspected members of Black Axe confraternity.”
