In a bid to cleanse Cross Rivers  from cultism, not less than 12 cultists have been nabbed by security agents and will soon be charged to court in relation to various killings in Calabar and other parts of the State.

The cultists, who are currently in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Cross River State Police Command in Calabar, are still being investigated before they would be prosecuted for offences committed at the law court.

  We learnt on Friday from the state police command that more arrests were still being made to get to the root of most of the matters, while dangerous weapons including guns and large quantity of ammunition had been recovered from the suspects.

 The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Hogan Bassey, said those arrested had confessed to being members of the Vikings Confraternity, Black Axe Confraternity and KK cult group.

He gave the names of the arrested suspects as Benedict Udoka (28), Paul Asuquo (23) Anthony Orim (22) Francis Omang (22),EtimNsa (33)EffiongEdet (26), BasseyOrok (18), EyoBassey (21),EnoBassey (19), UmohEkpo (27), Emmanuel Daniel (29),PaulinusEdem (28) and Christopher Undie (24) “

Some were arrested in different parts of the state after killing innocent people during their cult activities. Items ranging from locally made pistols, ammunition, knives and cutlasses were recovered from them in the cause of the raid.
