The police spokesperson disclosed that three suspects of the arrested persons have confessed to being members of the Eiye and Aye confraternities respectively.

He said the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Monday Agbonika expressed has warned all cult members to either denounce cultism, turn a new leaf or relocate from the state or face the full wrath of the law as contained in the Edo State Secret Cult and other related activities prohibition law.
