The Commissioner of Police, Haliru Gwandu, who disclosed this to journalists in Benin on Tuesday, added that firearms were recovered from the arrested academics.
Gwandu also said that among those arrested was a professor, from whom a double-barrel gun, single-barrel gun and one pump action gun were allegedly recovered.
The police commissioner said, “The professor was arrested. He was granted bail. The case is under investigation.”
Gwandu’s statement came less than a week after the command refuted reports that its operatives allegedly brutalised the Dean of the Faculty of Law of the university, Prof. Sunday Edeko.
The commissioner expressed displeasure over the high rate of cultism around the institution located in Esan West Local Government Area, which he said had claimed many lives.
He said there had been distress calls from members of the university community that cult groups were unleashing mayhem in the area.
“It was a distress call from the community; the university community made a call that cult groups were killing and they killed so many.
“And at the time when they (policemen) went to inspect a site, they discovered more than 14 beheaded students at that particular time,” he said.
He, however, vowed that the police would ensure that the leaders and members of cult groups in the area were arrested and charged to court.
Gwandu said, “We have a lot of issues with that particular university. There are some senior lecturers that were apprehended with firearms.
“So, we are going to arrest those who are mentoring and those who are real cultists and charge them to court. There is no going back.”

ReplyDeleteIt haff tey. My lectures won't be among they only do sexual things.
DeleteI am not surprised. Na their ways be that.
ReplyDeleteGood to be back......say no to cutism,it doesn't pay....
ReplyDeleteI saw this on sp some mins ago and I cried in my heart deep down. Bvs can u pls help this person? I don't know her bt I felt her pain and sincerity.
don't know if anyone ever been in my
shoes. Last night while going home frm
my almost empty shop I was pointing
my phone torchlight on the ground and
praying that I find a lost money, as in
money that mistakenly fell from
someone's body or I should find a lost
purse or nylon containing money.I saw
one tied black nylon,picked it up and
opened it only to find smelling shit
neatly wrapped in paper.I had to beg
for pure water and soap in a nearby
shop to wash my hands.
I'm tired of this harsh life,I never knw
this is how it is when ones husband
dies,but my mum did not not suffer
this much when she became a widow. I
had to run from fetish inlaws who
wanted to kill me becos of property and
moved with my kids to another state, I
was doing fine until the devil came
calling and took away all I had leaving
me in abject poverty. now I don't even
know which way to pass again when
going out today bcos I'm owning almost
all the food sellers around my house
here, even promise one that I will pay
her yesterday but got disappointed by
the money promised me. I don't know
what to even tell her again if I see her. I
go out everyday and sit in an almost
empty shop, no sales for the little
things remaining there, if i sell one or
two things we feed with d cash. i tell
people around that I wash cloths and
clean peoples house for a token.
sometimes I am lucky to get called by
one or two people in a week. my kids
are out of school for months
now,house rent almost due,the empty
shop rent almost due. If only the
miracle pastors preach about will just
happen and take away my pains and
sorrows. I cried yesterday like I lose
someone. God why? You say you will be
the husband of the widows,where re
you? I'm just worthless as a mom.
I am sorry I just had to let it out in
anonymous mode because No Bv here
knows I'm a widow only Stella and I
don't want people to say it is a begging
format,the burden was too much in my
heart.
Most poor widows do runs to survive just use condoms. God will understand. U have to survive with ur pussy for now till u stabilize. Wen my husband die I had to keep my kids with my mum hustle & do runs from PH, lag today I have stabilise very well with good ride, 3 solid male friends that helps my ministry one in PH, one in lag & one in onitsha where I based with my kids, I have build a 4rooms bungalow in a plot of land my onitsha man friend gave me that's where my mum & kids live with me, I have a shop now I'm main mrkt,

Lecturers kwa??? What is this world turning into?
ReplyDeleteNo be AAU again, na cultist den be that.
ReplyDeleteGud👍👍👍
ReplyDeleteEven Auchi poly too
Na today? Cesspool of all things evil. Whenever I meet a guy who says he graduated from Ekpoma, I secretly spit! With all we know, over 30 years & counting, what normal parent, guardian or child would consider AAU? Dem even change name at a point, hoping for a new start, whosai!
ReplyDeleteNa you no normal.Idiot.AAU is my alma mata so shut up your ass😡
DeleteShut your gutter mouth, bloody fool, ignoramus
DeleteAnonymous gangster...which school you go sef?
DeleteI'm sure you've been mixing with the wrong crowd that's why you have this archaic reasoning.
DeleteAAU is my alma mater and believe me the rate of cultism had drastically reduced while I was there so I wonder what you are blabbering about. When I tell people I attended AAU, they usually don't believe. I call it a case of can anything good come out of Nazareth? You know the rest.
Next time dear, reason before you spew thrash. Based on logistics or should i say statistics, there's no school without cult activities.
Oga, we graduated from there and we are doing fine. I'm spitting on you in public for this nonsense you wrote
DeletePlease leave our AAU alone. We love it like that and i am proud to have graduated from there. Which uni doesn't do cult stuff? I am sure you even applied for admission in AAU and was rejected hence the bitterness.

ReplyDeleteEven Lecturers hmmmm
ReplyDeleteLectures involved in cultism..hmmm
ReplyDelete#natheworkweydemdeydo
ReplyDeleteNah wah ooo, am sure you did not graduate from that school as you are claiming, calling it a dead school. For your information that Prof. was my lecturer way back 2003 at the faculty of law. He was very calm, articulate and easy going. Nah for him old age he go begin join or mentor cult members? You are free to believe whatever you want. I rest my case
