Operatives of the Ajuwon division of the Ogun State police command have arrested a suspected cult leader, identified as Abiodun John, with a firearm during stop-and-search duties along the Akute/Olambe road.

The suspect aged 25, was arrested at about 3:30 PM on Thursday while driving a Venza car registered as URSMOT AUTOS 4657DLA.

The command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, in a statement obtained by DAILY POST, said the arrest followed a tip-off from the public.

Upon the information, the officers pursued the vehicle, which was eventually stopped in front of the Osaro Mobile Filling Station.

Items discovered from the vehicle included two locally-made pistols and three live cartridges.

Odutola noted that in the process John was arrested while another suspect remains at large.

She said, “On January 9, 2025, at about 3:30 PM, Ajuwon police officers were conducting a lawful patrol and performing stop-and-search duties along the Akute/Olambe road when they received information from the public regarding two men suspected to be inside a Venza car with dealer number URSMOT AUTOS – 4657DLA.

“Immediately the information was intercepted the officers pursued the vehicle, which was eventually stopped in front of the Osaro Mobile Filling Station.

“One suspect, identified as Abiodun John, a 25-year-old male from the Olori area of Akute, was arrested, while another suspect remains at large.”

She noted that investigation is ongoing, and the case will soon be transferred to the SCID ABK for further investigation after preliminary inquiries.
