The police in Anambra state have arrested one Somtochukwu Onyebuchi for allegedly initiating no fewer than five underage children into secret cult group in the state.
Onyebuchi was among the 103 suspects paraded by the police Command.
The Command’s spokesperson, Haruna Mohammed, said the suspect who specialised in initiating teenagers into secret cults had been on the Police wanted list.
He said: “The suspect was arrested around 5am by operatives attached to the Command Special Anti-cult unit following a tip off.
“He has initiated so many of the children and led us to their hideout where we arrested two under aged but were granted bail.”
The suspect, who blamed his actions on the devil, warned others still in the business, to quit averting being caught.
He said: “I’ve been a member of the JVC since 2015 and I have initiated about five under aged children. I have a way of convincing them to join willingly.
“I regret engaging in the act because I can’t even boast of what I’ve benefitted since I joined. I advise other members to come out so they won’t be caught.”
Mohammed said they would be charged alongside with the principal suspect after investigations.
