The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested a suspected member of the Supreme Eiye Confraternity in Ado-Ekiti and recovered a locally made pistol from him.
According to a press release issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abutu Sunday, the Command’s Rapid Response Squad (RRS) acted on credible intelligence received on April 16, 2026, that a suspected cultist was sighted within the Ado-Ekiti metropolis with a locally made firearm.
Following the tip-off, operatives were deployed and, after a painstaking effort, arrested the suspect, identified as Adeleke Tosin, also known as Damo.
During investigation, the suspect confessed to being a member of the Supreme Eiye Confraternity and admitted involvement in numerous cult clashes within Ado-Ekiti and its environs. The police said these clashes recently resulted in the killing of some rival secret cult members.
One locally made pistol was recovered from the suspect. The Command added that efforts are ongoing to arrest other fleeing gang members. SP Abutu confirmed that the suspect will be made to face the full wrath of the law after the investigation is concluded.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, implored residents to be vigilant and promptly support the Police with credible information that could lead to the arrest of miscreants in society. He urged miscreants to turn a new leaf, warning that the long arm of the law will definitely catch up with them.
