Detectives from the Lagos State
Police Command have arrested the Baale of Ipakodo, Alhaji Tijani Awoyemi as
well as three others for their alleged involvement in the murder of four family
members on Sunday at Ibeshe area of Ikorodu.
Those arrested along with the
traditional ruler are Junior Christian, Owoyemi Bamidele and Alhaji Alaka
Abayomi
The deceased were found dead in
the house located in an isolated area of a bush at Ibeshe by some neighbours on
Sunday morning.
It was gathered that the
assailants allegedly enter the apartment by cutting their way through the window.
Meanwhile, the command uncovered
the deadly shrine in the area believed to be the domain of the dreaded Badoo
cult group after it had a high powered security meeting with the Divisional
Police Officer in charge of Imota Division.
The operation which was carried
out in the early hours of yesterday, was led by Deputy Commissioner of Police
in charge of operations, Imohinmi Edgal.

shrines while Alhaji Alaka was said to be the owner of the shrine.
A policeman who took part in the

forest of Agboowa, Ikorodu. We have also arrested three others, including the
operator of the shrines. They are the major suspects in yesterday’s incident.”
The Lagos State Police boss,

residents against living in isolated and unsafe areas where they might be
vulnerable to attacks by hoodlums and cultists.
