The two suspects, Habeeb Muideen aka oko 8 and Ibrahim aka ayin, were arrested following a distress call received by SWAT operatives that the group is engaged in a supremacy battle with another rival cult group at the Elega/Iberekodo axis of Abeokuta metropolis.
Upon the distress call, the commander SWAT CSP Kalejaye Olanrewaju quickly led his men to the scene.
On sighting the policemen, the cultists ran in different directions but were hotly chased and Habeeb Muideen was arrested at Iberekodo while Ibrahim was apprehended at the Ajitadun area of the metropolis.
The two suspects are currently undergoing interrogation at the SWAT office to determine their roles in the clash which left one eye member dead. Recovered from the arrested suspects are battle axes and assaulted charms.
No less than 37 members of various cult groups have been arrested in the last month when the command started clamping down on cultists across the state.
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered a comprehensive manhunt for the fleeing members of the groups.
