Court remands two suspected cult members over alleged possession of dangerous weapons in Kwara
Two alleged secret cult members have been remanded in custody at the Oke-Kura Custodian Center in Ilorin by a magistrate's court on suspicion of possessing lethal weapons. Ilorin is the capital of Kwara State.

Sulyman Bankole and Balogun Ibrahim, the accused, were apprehended by members of the state police command after reportedly terrorising the residents of Ilorin's Popo-gbona neighbourhood for a few weeks.

A squad of police officers assigned to the C Divisional Police Station in Ilorin detained the suspects in their hiding places in the Popo-gbona neighbourhood, according to the police first information report (FIR).

They were found to have one live cartridge, a war axe, a sharp knife, and plants that looked like Indian hemp.

The police prosecutor, Zacchaeus Folorunsho, informed the court of the motion exparte attached to the FIR, urging the court to grant prayers contained in the exparte.

He further submitted that police investigation has been completed on the matter, praying for the suspects to be remanded pending the outcome of legal advice from the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

In his ruling, Magistrate Ibrahim Dasuki granted the request and ordered the suspects remanded until September 10 for a hearing.
