The Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Haliru Gwandu, made this known on Tuesday 19th o April in Benin. Add to that, firearms were recovered from the honorable men of the Academia.
According to Daily Post, when a professor was arrested, a double-barrel gun, single-barrel gun and one pump action gun were allegedly recovered.
But the commissioner said:
“The professor was arrested. He was granted bail. The case is under investigation.”
Just a week before the arrests, the state police command has refuted reports that police officers had brutalised the Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University, Professor Sunday Edeko.
We could not confirm if this Dean is the actual professor who was arrested with weapons.
Ekpoma has a reputation for cultism, which has led to mindless loss of lives. The Commissioner agrees, which is why he said this:
“It was a distress call from the community; the university community made a call that cult groups were killing and they killed so many.
“And at the time when they (policemen) went to inspect a site, they discovered more than 14 beheaded students at that particular time."
He's still not stopping or slowing down either. He vowed to arrest more cultists and make them face the law.
In his declaration of war, he said:
“We have a lot of issues with that particular university. There are some senior lecturers that were apprehended with firearms.
So, we are going to arrest those who are mentoring and those who are real cultists and charge them to court. There is no going back.”
