Suspected Cultist – In the early hours of August 17, 2024, police in Ogun State apprehended Adekunle Adebajo, alias Kunle Polly, a suspected member of the Eiye confraternity, in connection with the recent murder of an individual known as “Mosquito” in ljebu Ode.
The arrest followed a violent clash between rival cult groups in the ljagun area six days earlier, during which “Mosquito” was brutally attacked, shot, macheted, and had his left hand severed and taken away by his killers. Acting on a tip-off from the public, police detectives from the IGBEBA Division raided a hideout in Isiwo, ljebu, where Kunle Polly was captured.

During interrogation, the 34-year-old suspect confessed his involvement in the crime, leading to a search of his residence. Authorities recovered a Beretta pistol with six live rounds, two UTC axes, and various charms. The investigation is ongoing as police work to unravel the cult’s disturbing pattern of severing victims’ left hands and to capture the remaining suspects.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Alamutu Abiodun Mustapha, psc, has reassured the communities of Isiwo ljebu, ljagun, and ljebu Ode that the era of cultism in Ogun State is nearing its end, and all perpetrators of this gruesome crime will face justice.
