Ogun Police Arrest Suspected Eiye Cultist with Loaded Shotgun in Abeokuta

Operatives from the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a suspected member of the Eiye Confraternity, Ismail Afolabi, at the Saje Area of Car Wash, Abeokuta. The arrest followed credible intelligence that members of the Eiye Confraternity were holding a secret meeting with plans to engage in criminal activities.

The suspect was apprehended on June 27, 2025, around 5:30 pm while attempting to flee the scene. He was found in possession of a cross-body bag containing a locally fabricated cut-to-size double-barrel shotgun loaded with live ammunition. Preliminary investigations have commenced, and efforts are ongoing to track down other accomplices linked to the meeting.

The Ogun State Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to eradicating cult-related violence and maintaining peace and order in the state.
