No fewer than 50 suspected cultists have been arrested by a police squad, ‘Operation Safe Delta,’ in Udu council area of Delta state.
The Herald gathered that the suspects were nabbed at different brothels and hideouts across the local government area.
Confirming the development, the Delta state commissioner of police, Mohammed Hafiz Inuwa, said the arrest was made to curb the continuous cult rivalry in the locality.

Inuwa said: “They were actually arrested because of the cult crisis going on. I felt I should send a team to go and bring the menace down and deal with the problem of cultism.
“We are not going to relent. We will continue our war against these cultists because a situation whereby they take delight in injuring themselves, to the extent of even waging war against themselves, killing themselves, I will not tolerate that.”
