A gardener at one of the private universities in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, has been arrested for alleged cultism and for being in possession of ammunition.
Five other accomplices of the said gardener, identified as Emmanuel Victor (32 years), were also arrested.
They were apprehended by the So-Safe Corps as some of those terrorising Rounder and other parts of Abeokuta North Local Government, Ogun State.
In a statement on Thursday, So-Safe State Commander, Soji Ganzallo, said the officers of the corps on guard duty at Obasanjo Hilltop, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, arrested the private university gardener during a stop-and-search operation.
