The father of two
suspected gang leaders of the Awawa cult
in the Dopemu area of Agege, Lagos State, has disowned the children, urging the
police to prosecute them.
Punch learnt that the two suspects – Fatai Popoola and Yakubu
Popoola – were arrested by the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and
Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, Alausa, on Friday.
Punch’s correspondent
gathered that apart from 27-year-old Yakubu and 30-year-old Fatai, the police
also arrested 13 other suspected members of the gang identified as Ajayi
Babatunde, Ajose Anthony, Nurudeen Adebayo, Olayemi Lasege, Afeez Sanusi,
Oluwafemi Ajibade, Opeyemi Oluwasola, Oluwatobi Adewunmi, Sunday Akerele,
Timothy Ogar, Actor Amaechi, Jimoh Sanni and Owolabi Adediran.
Punch gathered that the suspected members of the Awawa cult had dispossessed people of
their property and raped young girls in the Aluminum Village and Valley Estate
areas of Dopemu.
A police source told Punch’s
correspondent that the cult boys had attacked the police but were overpowered and
arrested.
