The Ondo State Police Command today said it had killed one suspected notorious cult member while two others were arrested during an early morning operations by its men in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area of the state.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Wole Ogodo, they met their waterloo when they dared the officers of the Special Anti- Cultism Squad (SAS) and shot sporadically at them.
Ogodo said: “what transpired today was that one of them was arrested and taken to Akure for investigation and he led them back to Igbokoda in Seun’s house. When the operation led by ASP Raimi Seidu knocked at his door, his wife came out and policemen said they came for investigation.
“He (Seun) ran through the back door and took his AK 49 rifle with double magazine and started shooting at the police and in self defence, they shot him dead.
“We have been saying this that Ondo State is not where criminals can operate, it is better for them to have a rethink or continue to meet their waterloo”.
