The Lagos State Police Command on
Monday uncovered a shrine allegedly belonging to the deadly Badoo gang in
Agbowa area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The cult group has terrorised
residents of Ikorodu and its environs for several months and killed and maimed
several residents.
The latest victims were a family
of four who were found murdered in their home on Sunday morning in Ikorodu.
Relying on a tip off, the police
stormed the shrine, reportedly located somewhere on the outskirts of Ikorodu
Police sources said the police
team were led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations,
Edgal Imohimi, with backing from the Inspector General of Police Special
Tactical Squad (STS).
A video of the operation posted
online showed that there were figurines and moulded figures in the shrine.
There were also a few baskets,
broken eggs and all manner of sacrifices and metal gongs.
When contacted on Monday
afternoon, the Lagos Police spokesperson, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the
operation.
“Yes, the one (video) on TVC
(Television Continental)… It’s one of our operations (where) we are able to
discover one shrine,” he simply said.
It is still unclear whether
arrests were made during the operations.
Details of the operations would
be communicated later, a police source told our correspondent.
