"In continuation of the Edo State Police Commands' onslaught against cult activities in Edo State, the operatives of the Anti-Cultism Unit of the Command on Saturday 27th April 2024 stormed the city of Ekpoma after an intelligence report that some students suspected to be members of Vikings secret cult confraternity who converged in an undisclosed place in Ekpoma to carry out initiation process of some new members where in the process 35 cultists were arrested," the state.

"The operations were carried out simultaneously between the 27th and 28th day of April 2024.

"The Commissioner of Police Edo State, CP Funsho Adegboye, mni reiterates the command's commitments to ensure the safety of lives and property of the citizenry.

"He assures the good people of Edo State and the general public to always assist the Police with actionable information that will lead to achievements.
