Ogun Cult Wars: ‘Kunle Polly’ arrested for alleged killing of ‘Mosquito’

Six days after a concerned citizen made a distress call to the Igbeba Police Officer reporting that rival cult members were active in Ijagun in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, where a certain ‘Mosquito’ was shot and dismembered with a machete and his left hand was severed and taken away by his killers, the Ogun State Police have arrested one of the suspected killers.
He is 34-year-old Adekunle Adebajo (Kunle Polly) from Itun Oke Ijebu Isiwo

He was arrested on August 17 at about 00:03am from a hideout in Isiwo, Ijebu and is currently being policed ​​in Igbeba Division.

The public provided credible information, reinforcing police leads that pointed to the hideout of the fugitive suspects.

Upon receiving this information, a team of investigators was immediately mobilised and put into action by going to the location where Kunle Polly was arrested.

During interrogation, Kunle Polly admitted to being a member of the Eiye confraternity. This led to a search warrant being issued for his residence, where a Beretta pistol with six live cartridges, two UTC axes and amulets were found.

Investigations are ongoing to uncover the pattern of how the victims' left hands were severed and to arrest other criminals who escaped from the hideout.

An assurance by the Commissioner of Police, CP Alamutu Abiodun Mustapha psc, has raised hopes among the Isiwo Ijebu, Ijagun and Ijebu Ode community that the era of cultism in Ogun State is over and the remaining suspects will soon be brought to justice.
