Vigilant operatives of the Anambra State Police Command, in the early hours of Sunday, June 15, 2025, successfully foiled a cult initiation ceremony.
The ceremony was scheduled to hold in Nawfia, Njikoka Local Government Area (LGA) of the State.
According to a statement in Awka on Tuesday by the Command’s Spokesman, Tochukwu Ikenga, during the raid, the operatives arrested six suspects, recovered one Jojef pump action gun, two cartridges and one golden coloured Lexus SUV with registration number – ATN 202 AE.
Other items recovered at the scene include two cutlasses, two scissors, one cap with inscription of the Supreme Vikings confraternity, some charms, and substances suspected to be hard drugs.
“They are currently undergoing police interrogation to get more insight into their modus operandi, after which the case will be charged to Court on the conclusion of the investigations,” Ikenga said.
He reassured residents that the Command remains committed to combat cultism and other related crimes in the State.
