The Edo State Police Command has recorded another operational breakthrough following the swift disruption of a suspected cultists’ gathering in Ohonre Community, off Adolor College Road, Benin City.


On 21st May, 2026, at about 1900hrs, operatives attached to Ugbowo Division who were on surveillance patrol responded to a distress report concerning the movement and gathering of some suspected cult members within the community.


Acting promptly on the information, the police team mobilized to the location. On sighting the operatives, the suspects fled in an attempt to evade arrest. The operatives immediately gave them a hot chase, leading to the arrest of two suspects identified as:


1. Victor Peter ‘M’, 21 years

2. Iyemoma Ogbewe ‘M’, 35 years


A search conducted on the suspects led to the recovery of one cut-to-size gun believed to have been in their possession for unlawful purposes.


Upon investigation, the suspects confessed to being members of the notorious Maphite cult group. Efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend other fleeing gang members.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Monday Agbonika, fdc, commended the swift response of the operatives and reiterated the Command’s resolve to deny criminal elements any opportunity within Edo State. He further urged residents to continue providing timely and credible information to the Police, assuring that all reports would receive prompt attention.
