Four suspected members of the Aiye Confraternity cult group have been arrested in Lagos, alongside a Beretta pistol and a live 9mm ammunition. The arrests were made by the Lagos State Police Command’s Violent Crime Response Unit following reports of cult activities in the Mushin area. The operation began with the arrest of a suspected leader named Irawo Moshod, who admitted to his past role as chairman of the cult group and provided critical information leading to the other arrests and weapon discovery.
Moshod allegedly confessed to involvement in several killings across Lagos. The recovered pistol and ammunition were reportedly obtained from a man named Rilwan, believed to be the group’s leader. Three additional suspects, Abayomi James, Farouq Bankole, and Steven Sunday, were also apprehended at Aganran by Ojuwoye. All four suspects are currently in custody and cooperating with the investigation.
Lagos State Police Commissioner CP Tijani Fatai praised the proactive operation against cult-related activities, emphasizing the command’s commitment to dismantling criminal networks and urging residents to report suspicious behavior for immediate police response.
