Oko-Ilu, a notorious cultist, has been charged on nine counts in Oshogbo.

According to reports, Hammed Rasheed, 29, also known as Oko-Ilu, a wanted cultist in Osun State, has been charged.

The police brought Oko-Ilu before Chief Magistrate Olufemi Ayilara of the Osogbo Magistrate Court on Wednesday.

The alleged cult member was charged with murder, the illegal killing of two people, disturbing the peace, cultism, and other offenses.

He was charged with the deaths of Hassan Adedeji, Idowu (A.K.A Delta), and Inspector Gbenga Eke.

The charge sheet presented to the court by the Police Prosecutor, Inspector Elisha Olusegun, was not read in court because the Magistrate did not accept Oko-Ilu's plea.

Ayilara, the Magistrate, remanded him in Ilesa prison and adjourned the case until October 7.

The Chief Magistrate also ordered that the duplicate case file be sent to the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.

Oko-Ilu, who is accused of terrorizing the Ede community and its environs, was apprehended in Osogbo in the early hours of Saturday.

He was apprehended in an operation carried out by the police in collaboration with members of the Oodua People's Congress (OPC).

Rasheed, a welder by trade, was being pursued by security agents for allegedly causing the deaths of numerous people in the Ede community.
