In continuation of investigation to unravel individuals behind the bloody cult clashes in the Sagamu area of Ogun State, more suspects were invited for interrogation on Tuesday.
The suspects are Hon. Adeniran Ademola aka Sapele, a member of the House of Assembly, representing Sagamu 2, and Hon. Afolabi Odulate, Chairman of Sagamu local government area, and a lady, Ifeoluwa Akinyemi.
The trio were invited by the Department of State Service (DSS) for questioning to aid in further investigation of the mayhem in the town which lasted for over four days and claimed several lives.
Meanwhile, the lady was later released after interrogation.
It would be recalled that six suspects and a member, representing Sagamu State Constituency (1), Hon. Damilare Bello Mohammed, were rounded up on Wednesday.
The lawmaker was nabbed while providing shelter for the fleeing cultists at his official residence in Abeokuta.
Sources disclosed that more people may still be invited for interrogation in due course.
[06:56, 27/09/2023] My Ayodele Boss : EID-EL-MAULUD: IMBIBE THE VIRTUES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD, TINUBU URGES MUSLIMS
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and beyond on this year’s Eid-el-Maulud celebration, charging them to live by the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
The President, in a statement on Tuesday, said beyond celebrating the day marking the birthday of the Holy Prophet, the period should be used for deep introspection and fervent prayers.
“Adherents should make deliberate efforts to adhere to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad. There are great lessons of devotion, perseverance, tolerance, humility and selflessness that we can all learn from the life of the Prophet,” the President said.
President Tinubu urged religious leaders to use the period to pray for the country and to admonish their followers to take the appropriate lessons from Prophet Muhammad’s life in their commitment to the country.
“Nigeria has arrived at an important juncture. While the government is taking all necessary measures to make the country secure and economically viable, we need the full support of the citizenry in the form of patriotism, patience, and prayers. The light is certainly bright at the end of the tunnel,” the President affirmed.
President Tinubu also urged Muslims celebrating the Maulud festival to extend their hand of fellowship to the needy and vulnerable in the spirit of the season while praying for the country and her leaders at all levels.
