The Ogun State Police Command’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Squad has arrested a 26-year-old suspected cultist, Okiki Muhammed Adewusi, also known as “Baba Obo,” during an intelligence-led operation in the Ore area of Atan, Ogun State. Operating on credible intelligence, SWAT Base 7 operatives from Abule Iroko, Sango-Ota, apprehended the suspect at approximately 2000 hours on 26 October 2026, and subsequently recovered a locally made pistol and three live cartridges from his residence. Preliminary investigations reveal that
Adewusi allegedly confessed to membership in the Eiye Confraternity.
A rapid follow-up operation conducted the next morning on 27 October 2026 at around 0630 hours led police to another location based on information provided by the suspect, resulting in the recovery of a second locally made pistol and a battle axe. Ogun State Commissioner of Police CP Bode Ojajuni commended the officers for their vigilance and professionalism, reiterating the Command’s ongoing commitment to dismantling criminal networks, removing illegal firearms from circulation, and curbing cult-related violence.
Authorities have indicated that investigations and efforts to apprehend remaining suspects are currently active.
