The police in Enugu State, south-east Nigeria, said they have arraigned 26 persons for their alleged involvement in recent cult attacks and killings in the state.
The police spokesperson in the state, Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday night.
Mr Ndukwe, a deputy superintendent of police, said the suspects were behind the cult attacks in different parts of the state which resulted in the death of “a yet-to-be ascertained number of individuals on different dates and times.”
The police spokesperson said the arrest of the 26 suspects followed an order to police operatives from the Commissioner of Police in the state, Ahmed Ammani, to clampdown all suspected criminals.
He said the 26 suspects — all males between the ages of 18 and 40 — have all confessed to being members of Supreme Vikings and Black Axe confraternities, the two groups involved in the cult war.
