The  Lagos State Police Command has arrested eight suspected cultists including the leader of Black Axe cult group in Ilasamaja area of the state.
The suspects’ arrest followed last week’s bloody clash between members of Black Axe and Eiye Confraternity in the area.
According to the police, six of the suspects – Samsondeen Musari, Senibol Pwel, Opeyemi Shoyombo, Kosoko Abiola, Joshua Oke, Adekunle Akinbola – were apprehended over the weekend at a hotel they lodged preparatory to the attack.
They were allegedly dressed in their regalia waiting for the right time to carry out their attack, when the Divisional Police Officer of the Ilasamaja police station, Mrs. Titilayo Oriyomi, and her men stormed the hotel.
