The Edo State Special Security Task Force, accordingly intensified crime fighting apparatus, stormed blackspots in two communities – Uzebu and Iyanumor – in swift response to reported cult clashes.
The Task Force members, in collaboration with the Edo State Police Command, combed the communities and arrested over 12 suspected cultists.
