Cultist Arrest: Police Halt Attempted Murder in Edo

The police in Edo State have arrested two suspected cultists for their involvement in the attempted murder of a rival cult member. According to reports, the suspects allegedly attacked the individual as part of a violent clash between rival cult groups in the state. The attack was reportedly premeditated, and the victim was severely injured but survived.

The police have since launched an investigation into the matter, and the suspects are being held in custody as authorities continue to gather evidence related to the attack. Cultism has been a significant issue in parts of Nigeria, particularly in Edo State, where rival groups often engage in violent confrontations that lead to loss of life and public unrest.

This arrest comes amid ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to combat cult-related violence in the region. Authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious activities linked to cultism and to cooperate with the police to reduce the menace.
