Police Parade fake Inspector, female cultist in Ekiti State
The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested a man, Olalekan Ezekiel for allegedly impersonating an inspector of police.
Ezekiel, who posed as though he was a police inspector, was arrested on February 20 on Esure-Awo road when he was intercepted by a patrol team and later confessed to being a fake officer of the force.
Relatively, a student of the College of Science and Technology, Ijero Ekiti, Busayo Kayode, was arrested for allegedly tricking his bosom friend into the hands of a 10-man gang of rapists, who forcefully had carnal knowledge of the victim with sinister intention to initiate her into an occult group.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Wilson Inalegwu , who disclosed this while parading 26 suspects in the state police headquarters in Ado Ekiti, stated that the police recovered from Ezekiel one unregistered red coloured Honda Motorcycle , adding that he will be prosecuted soon.
Inalegwu said, Yetunde , who was arrested in Ijero Ekiti few days ago was accused of recruiting vulnerable girls for some gang to rape in turns, particularly members of Aiye Cult Group.
The CP said following the killing of OC MSS of the State Command, Mr. Idowu Taiwo and one Engr Kunle Enisan and the kidnap of a Sweden – based Emmanuel Adeleke, his men swiftly extended their tentacles of intelligence gathering to Kano and Kaduna States, where some arrests were made.
“The operatives successfully recovered a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Motorola Android Phone and Blackberry Passport belonging to the late OC MSS . Also, Infinix and Itel phones belonging to the waitresses working at a joint where the late officer was abducted before being killed, were recovered.
“The suspects are helping my men and they will be charged to court soon.”
The Police Commissioner added that he had established a ‘crime Hot Spot Policing Squad’ to smash criminals that have taken Atikankan, Adebayo , Ajilosun and Ojumose areas of Ado Ekiti, as safe havens.
Inalegwu disclosed that the command was partnering with sister Commands in Ondo , Kwara, Kogi and Osun States to curtail activities of kidnappers in the zone.
He said his men were also doing the mapping for strategic operation in the thick forests along Ikere-Igbara Odo-Ogotun and Ise-Emure axes where kidnap victims were being regularly kept in Ekiti.
“We are also enlisting the services of local hunters and vigilante groups for constant patrol these deadly forests, so that when we occupy their hideouts, they will have no option than to run,” he said.
On the rampaging herdsmen killing the people, Inalegwu said: “We have also made very landmark achievement in the area to ensuring peaceful
co-existence among the herdsmen and farmers.
“We are forming various groups selected from all these stakeholders so that all of us can be on the same page to be able to checkmate incessant crisis among them and ensure that Ekiti is in peace.”
Inalegwu commended the state government over its quick intervention in Ayede/Itaji Communal clash and for clearing the road necks in all the 16 local governments, saying the measures had helped his men in carrying out their statutory operational duties.
