Osun CP, Fimihan Adeoye |
The police in Osun State have arrested seven suspected cult members in Ile-Ife following a disturbance by some cultists, who engaged in violent activities in some areas of the town.
Our correspondent gathered that the suspected cult members caused pandemonium at Agbedegbede/Ompetu and More areas of Ile-Ife and paralysed business activities for some hours.
