The Ogun State Police Command says it has uncovered a shrine belonging to ritualists and fraudsters in Iganke, a boundary town between Ogun and Lagos states.
According to the police, the shrine, located deep in a forest, was filled with charms and other objects.
Speaking in Abeokuta on Tuesday, Ogun Police Commissioner who supervised the operation, Ikemefuna Okoye, told journalists that his men had been on the lookout for shrines and other places where crimes were being perpetrated.
He said the arrest of two members of the group in Abeokuta led to the discovery of the shrine. He also attributed the breakthrough to co-operation and collaboration with various communities in the area.
“One of them tried to dupe someone of a huge amount of money, but through intelligence gathering we got to hear about it, Okoye said. “We immediately swung into action and arrested two members of the syndicate, who brought us to this place where they do all kind of things, including rituals and fraud.
“Our investigation department is working tirelessly to get to know more about the activities of these people, and take necessary actions.”
The commissioner further said that the two suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigation into the matter was concluded.
While thanking members of the various communities for the cooperation extended to the Force, he charged anyone with useful information to supply such to the command.
“I can assure you that the identity of anyone who volunteers information that will help us uncover men of the underworld will be highly shielded,”
