The Police paraded the suspects on Sunday at Ifo Police Station. The Commissioner of Police, Kenneth Ebrimson, disclosed that the suspects were arrested for cultism, thuggery and other related to breakdown of law and order at the current period of lockdown in the state. He revealed that the suspects were picked up in the Operation Restore Normalcy launched by the Ogun State Police Command.
