OGUN POLICE ARREST CULT LEADER AND UNCOVER CULT INITIATION PLOT, FOIL ARMED ROBBERY, PREVENT MOB ACTION ON MOTORCYCLE HIJACKER, RECOVER MOTORCYCLE, GENERATOR PARTS, AND OTHER EXHIBITS AS CP BODE OJAJUNI REINFORCES CRACKDOWN ON CRIME



The Ogun State Police Command has recorded another series of operational breakthroughs through sustained intelligence-led, preventive, and community-responsive policing across Ago-Iwoye, Mowe, and Warewa Divisions. 

The coordinated operations led to the arrest of three suspects linked to cultism, armed robbery, and receiving stolen property, the disruption of a planned cult initiation exercise, the prevention of mob action against a suspect, and the recovery of a stolen motorcycle and parts of a 10KVA generator valued at ₦650,000.
These successes reflect the Command’s proactive crime prevention strategy, swift response capability, and sustained efforts to deny criminal elements any operational space within the State.

1. MOWE DIVISION ARRESTS CULT LEADER AND UNCOVERS CULT INITIATION PLOT

In a decisive intelligence-led preventive operation, operatives of Mowe Division arrested a 26-year-old male suspect identified as a notorious leader of the Eiye Confraternity operating within the Mowe axis.

Acting on credible intelligence, the Command uncovered plans by the cult group to carry out an initiation exercise aimed at recruiting new members and expanding its activities within the area.
Through sustained surveillance and proactive deployment, operatives successfully arrested the suspect and disrupted the planned cult initiation exercise before it could be executed.

During investigation, the suspect reportedly confessed to his leadership role and admitted involvement in cult-related activities.

He has been transferred for further investigation and prosecution.

2. AGO-IWOYE DIVISION FOILS ARMED ROBBERY AND PREVENTS MOB ACTION, RECOVERS MOTORCYCLE AND HAMMER USED IN ATTACK
Operatives of Ago-Iwoye Division swiftly responded to a violent armed robbery incident involving a commercial motorcyclist along the Ita-Merin axis of Ago-Iwoye.

On 16th June, 2026, the victim was attacked by two passengers he conveyed on his motorcycle. 

The suspects used a hammer to strike the victim on the head and body, inflicting injuries before dispossessing him of the motorcycle.
Following a distress alert, residents pursued and apprehended one suspect. Police operatives quickly arrived at the scene, restored order, and prevented mob action against the suspect, thereby averting further breakdown of law and order.

The stolen motorcycle and the hammer used in the attack were recovered as exhibits.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects operate in a coordinated manner, targeting commercial motorcyclists along isolated routes using a hammer to overpower victims and dispossess them of their motorcycles.
Further investigation established that the arrested suspect is linked to similar incidents within the axis, indicating his role as a key actor within a broader criminal network.

Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing accomplice and dismantle the criminal network.

3. WAREWA DIVISION UNCOVERS STOLEN PROPERTY NETWORK AND RECOVERS GENERATOR PARTS

In another intelligence-driven breakthrough, operatives of Warewa Division arrested a suspect involved in the diversion and illegal disposal of a 10KVA generator valued at ₦650,000.

The complainant reported that the generator, which was rented out for legitimate business use, was unlawfully diverted and sold at a suspiciously low price of ₦15,000.

Acting swiftly on credible intelligence, detectives traced the exhibits to Kara-Isheri, where the suspect was arrested while dismantling the equipment into parts. Some parts of the generator were recovered as exhibits.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the suspect may be connected to a wider pattern of similar fraudulent activities involving rented equipment.

Efforts are ongoing to apprehend other individuals connected to the case and recover additional exhibits.

The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Bode Ojajuni, psc, FCSS, MNIPR, commended the professionalism, vigilance, and swift tactical response of the operatives involved.

He reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to proactive, intelligence-led policing, crime prevention, and sustained pressure on criminal elements across the State. 

The CP further assured that Ogun State remains unsafe for criminals.

Members of the public are encouraged to continue supporting police operations by providing timely and credible information.
