The Board Chairman of the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Agency, LNSA, Mr. Israel Ajao on Thursday disclosed that officials of the Agency apprehended six suspected members of a cultist gang for allegedly gang-raping some secondary school female students.
Ajao explained that the Agency has been paying special attention to activities of cult members because other societal vices like armed robbery, kidnapping, raping among others are products of cultism.
He said that LSNC has been deploying both overt and covert strategies to ensure that criminals have no hiding place at all in Lagos State, adding that the strategies were responsible for the successes recorded in the past one year by the Agency with the full support from the Police and other Security Agencies in the State.
He stated that cultism is now becoming a veritable ground for breeding criminals and that is why the Agency is deploying every available means to nip it in the bud across all the LGAs and LCDAs, adding that “One of the results of our efforts is what led to the arrest of these cult boys”.
Speaking further on the arrest of the rape gang, Ajao informed that “In Lagos-Island East LCDA, we got an intelligence report about the activities of cult boys who go to schools to abduct innocent girls using all sorts of tricks or force to have their way with the girls”.The suspects, Laguda Kamal, Muyideen Agoro, Kayode Damilare, Quadri Ajayi, Idoogun Yinusa and Yinka Adewuyi, were accused of gang-raping three students of Junior Secondary School.
