The 18-year-old suspect yesterday led policemen to the forest where he and four members of the cult group he belongs to allegedly killed and buried the 24-year-old motorcyclist in a shallow grave.

“This is a case of robbery and murder. This man, who claims to be 18 years old and his gang members, robbed and murdered one Stanley Eluwa on October 5.
“He was arrested on October 24 for stealing an amplifier from the New Life Bible Church. During interrogation, he confessed to the murder case. Today, (Thursday) he led the police and the family members of the slain man to the forest where they killed and buried the victim in a shallow grave.
“The Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, has declared war on cultism. The CP believes that cultism is the mother of all crimes. We are getting the results and the CP is bringing new ideas to the table to make sure that cultism is thrown out of the state.
“The suspect and others on the run belong to the Iceland Confraternity, which has been wrecking havoc on the state.
“We are trailing the fleeing gang members. There is an ongoing operation in the state against cultism,” Enwerem added.
