Police nab union leader, cultists with guns

The police in Ogun state have arrested a leader of one of the road transport unions in the state, Suleman Akinyemi, for allegedly plotting to cause mayhem at a motor park in Ijebu-Igbo area.
Akinyemi was arrested alongside four suspected cult members who were said to have been in possession of some dangerous weapons.
Commissioner of Police (CP) in charge of the state, Ahmed Iliyasu, made this disclosure while parading the suspects and seven others in connection with various crimes, weekend in Abeokuta.

He said four pump action guns, one locally made pistol, chief revolver pistol and three live cartridges were recovered from the transporter and his gang, just as Akinyemi a.k.a. Anobi had been reportedly expelled from one of the notable transport unions in the state.
Police investigation, however, revealed that he recruited suspected cultists and armed them to unleash terror and take over the leadership of a major motor park in Ijebu-Igbo.
