Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Police Force Public Relations Officer, has claimed that almost every young person in Sagamu, Ogun State, is a member of a cult group.
He made this known in a post via his X page, @Princemoye1, on Sunday, amid reported killing of about 25 persons in cult clashes in the area.
According to him, "In Sagamu, almost every young person is a cultist. Okada riders, artisans, etc., are into cultism even more than students, and I think the whole town and Remoland, in general, should take action on it.
"I am an authority on Sagamu cases. Ask them if they know me. No one from Sagamu can dispute what I've said. So don't worry about my statement, even the elders and Sagamites know."
"Yes. Most of those who cause this wahala in sagamu are not even sagamites. At times, they come from Ijebu ode or Ago Iwoye to strike and move. In some cases, they come as far as Edo St. It's a problem that the whole system must tackle not only the security forces."
Speaking subsequently on Monday, Adejobi said the Ogun State police commissioner had gone to Sagamu in response to the cult violence.
"Sagamu Cult Clash: CP Ogun, Abiodun Alamutu, is presently in Sagamu on the spot assessment and confidence-building patrol. The IGP has ordered swift operations to be carried out in the town to curb the unwarranted killings. We will also assist the command with resources where necessary. The command will speak on this asap. Thanks."
