Total media reports that the suspects were said to have been arrested in various locations in the area following the clash between two rival cults groups which led to a gun battle with many injured in the melee that followed.
It was gathered from a source that the cult members who were not from the community, had stormed Mowe and battled themselves to a standstill before they were chased away by the police.
Confirming the incident and the subsequent arrest, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the groups came to Mowe and unleashed mayhem on the area.
“They vandalized vehicles and made life uncomfortable for innocent residents of the area. Distress calls were made to the Area Commander, Sagamu, and Divisional Police Officer, Mowe Division.
Consequently, policemen were swiftly deployed in the area and they repelled the assailants. In the process, 10 of the hoodlums were arrested, including a female member,” ASP Oyeyemi said.
According to the police spokesman, investigations have revealed that one of the cults held a meeting in the house of the female member, whose identity was not given.
