A raid on the hideout of notorious cult group terrorising residents of Ikorodu popularly known as Badoo, has witnessed the arrest of over 100 suspected members of the group reports say.
The raid by men of the Lagos State Police Command in conjunction with the Oodua People’s Congress-OPC, and Local vigilante groups is said to be connected with a recent closed-door meeting held between top Police authorities in Lagos, the OPC leader- Gani Adams, and other local vigilante groups last week.
The arrest of the suspects is coming a day after three members of the gang tried to break into one apartment near a gas station at the Jumofak area of Igbo-Oluwo, Ikorodu but were caught in the act.
Reports say one of the gang member was nabbed by a vigilance team while the other two took to their heels.
The suspect was detained till about 6am while the vigilance team and other residents interrogated him before the arrival of a team of armed Policemen who later got wind of the situation and arrived the scene.
However, residents refused to the cops from taking away the suspect after arriving the scene for fear that the police would later release the suspect who was later handed jungle justice as he was burnt alive.
