The Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Olusola Amore, on
Thursday in Ilorin, told news correspondents that a suspect identified Salisu
Imam, has blamed unemployment for his involvement in cult-related activities.
While making his cofession to reporters, the suspect stated
that he was lured into cultism by one of
his unnamed friends, who, he said, told him that membership of a cult
would guarantee him daily meals, adding that he fell for the bait because he
had no job and was always hungry.
He said, “I was jobless and so hungry. One of my friends
told me to join the Aiye cult group, that once I am a member, my daily meals
are guaranteed. These friends have been taking care of me before they
introduced me to cultism and I was left with no option but to play along with
them.”
The police boss said following the aftermath of cult
killings that took place in Ilorin metropolis and the determination of the
command to arrest the culprits, three suspects, Ibrahim Imam, Salisudeen Imam
and Saheed Mubaraq were nabbed.
He stated that during interrogation, the suspects confessed
to being members of Eiye and Aiye confraternities, adding that they also
confessed to have been involved in series of attacks that took place in Ilorin,
adding that three live cartridges and charms were recovered from the suspects.
