Ojelabi added that, similarly, the Anti-Cultism Unit of the command, through intelligence efforts, arrested suspected cultists in Sasa Area, Osogbo, at about 1 a.m. on Friday.
He said efforts are ongoing to apprehend other fleeing suspects.
The recovered items from the suspects included one axe, one live cartridge, one blue cap with the Eye Confraternity logo, and six other caps.
