I Only Joined Cult to Have Free Access to Girls and Power - Suspect Confesses

A man has made a shocking revelation after the police nabbed him and many others who were committing different atrocious crimes in Lagos.

 

About 46 suspected members of the dreaded 'Awawa Confraternity' comprising of 40 men and 6 ladies were arrested on Saturday by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, Timothy Ojetunde. The deadly cultists were arrested along Lateef Jakande Road, Agindigbi, Ogba and Agege, Lagos state.

 

Their arrest came after police received a distress call that the suspected cultists were snatching belongings and maiming people. The suspects allegedly attacked police with deadly weapons before they were overpowered. The suspects between the ages of 15 to 22 years also threatened police as they boasted that “No one can arrest us and go scot-free.”

 

Parading the suspects at the RRS headquarters in Alausa, The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Dolapo Badmus, described the Awawa Confraternity as a violent group whose activities were under the close watch of the police.

 

Badmus said, “The state will not condone their activities. They are threatening the peace in the city. We are after them.

“Their financiers and leaders are our targets; with those in our dragnet, the tide is against them.

“The suspects have been handed over to Environmental Task Force, Alausa for prosecution."

 

“After receiving a series of reports, RRS put surveillance teams in place to monitor the activities of the group at Agege, Ogba, Ifako-Ijaiye, Iyana-Ipaja and Abule-Egba.

“The investigations have revealed that the Awawa Confraternity is a fearless cult group, terrorising people living in Agege and Ikeja axis.

“Investigations further showed that the Awawa members move in hundreds, committing all manners of atrocities on their way.

“Apart from incessant complaints from residents which we received on daily basis, alleging that the group was making life difficult for them, they were equally accused of raping, looting, snatching and dispossessing law-abiding citizens of their belongings,” the PPRO said.

However, one of the suspects gave quite a hilarious confession when he said: “They promised me that I would have free access to girls who are members of the group and that is why most of the male members joined.” 

 

“Also, I decided to join the Awawa Confraternity because I wanted to be very powerful among my peers.

“One thing is certain, once you join the group, it would be very difficult to leave, and you must also be part of their operations anytime they set out.

“We loot, rape and rob innocent members of public every time we go for operations. We don’t fear anybody even police because we are always in hundreds,”  added.
