The trio were said to be responsible for the killing of the Okada Riders Association ticketing officer, a petty trader and two other persons killed in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

A United Arab Emirates (UAE) returnee and jail-break escapee named Omotuyi Temitope was also arrested for armed robbery.

Parading the suspects alongside seventeen other suspects arrested for various offences to newsmen yesterday at the command headquarters,  the police spokesperson, Sunday Abutu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the recent fracas among rival secret cult group members, especially the Supreme “Eiye” Confraternity and the Black Axe “Aiye” Confraternity in Ado-Ekiti led  to serious unrest as well as killing and robbing of innocent citizens.

He said, “The command activated a full-scale manhunt to arrest the perpetrators, bring them to justice and restore a peaceful atmosphere.
