Kwara State police command has paraded four suspected cultists and one robber in Ilorin, the state capital.

The suspected cultists were said to be members of Eiye confraternity.

The state  Commissioner of Police, Sam Okaula, paraded the suspects shortly after receiving Toyota Hilux van, donated to the command by the proprietor of Solid Worth Hotels, Ilorin.

Okaula said the police recovered from the four suspected cultists, two cut-to-size double barrel guns and one long single barrel gun.

He stated that acting on intelligence, the Anti-vice operatives, stormed the rendezvous of the suspected cultists in Oyun area of Ilorin ,while they were preparing to go out for operation.

"They are notorious members of Eiye confranternity. They are confessed cultists. With these weapons, you can imagine the atrocities they have committed. One of them has been recruiting cult members in Ilorin metropolis. He has confessed and mentioned a lot of names and I can assure you that the command is after these suspects. We smoked them out of their hideouts and we have clearly told them that they either relocate from their hideouts and we have our harmony and peace or they meet with their waterloo."

"This appears to be the end of the atrocities they have been committing over the time. We will thoroughly investigate them and prosecute them accordingly. I can assure members of the public that this war is ongoing and we need information from members of the public. We need their cooperation and collaboration and we would ensure that peace continues in Kwara State.

"Some of them claimed to be students and some of them have graduated according to them. But we are in the process of confirming whether they are students or they have graduated", he said.

The   police boss  said Abdulrahman was arrested with one locally made revolver pistol.
