Operatives from the Lagos State Police Command arrested five suspected members of the Aye Confraternity during a routine stop-and-search along the Ago/Festac Bridge axis. The first two suspects, Emmanuel John (24) and David Godwin (28), were stopped in a Toyota Camry XLE where officers recovered substances believed to be hard drugs. The pair confessed to cult membership during questioning. Further investigation led to the arrest of Samuel Owubokiri (25), Adetona Seyi (20) and David Chigozie (25). Items seized include military camouflage; two machetes; a battle axe; a knife; 500 SIM cards; five mobile phones; five laptops; charms; and additional substances suspected to be hard drugs. The Lagos State Police spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the arrests and encouraged the public to share any information or tips through the command’s official hotlines for emergencies and intelligence sharing.
