The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in-charge of Ogidi Police Station, Mr Hassan Musa, said the suspects who are all young men were arrested at different locations in the community following a tip-off by some residents of the affected areas.
He said that the six suspects, who have confessed their level of involvement in cultism, would be charged to court after investigation.
Musa reiterating the resolve of the police to rid the community and other neighbouring towns, especially Onitsha, the state commercial hub of undesirable elements.
He particularly expressed happiness over the cooperation the police in the area were enjoying from the vigilante groups, commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators as well as other stakeholders in the area and assured that current crime-free level of Anambra would be sustained.
“We also carry out steady raid of black spots in order to nab budding criminals,’’ he revealed.
He warned criminals to vacate the area; adding that those who refused would have no other option than to meet their waterloo.
“With the good co-operation of the people, Nigerians here would sleep with their two eyes closed,’’ he said."
