“The sentences which are without option of fine are to run concurrently.The convicts have been remanded to Onitsha Correctional Centre to serve their jail terms.

“The Commissioner of Police has advised youths to learn lesson from this conviction and shun crime in order not to jeopardise their future.

Similarly, the command had charged 33 suspected cultists in court for sundry criminal charges in the wake of a new crackdown ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye.

The suspected cultists who were arraigned in two batches of nine and 24were charged with membership of unlawful societies; unlawful possession of firearms; unlawful possession and use of hard drugs and other psychotropic substances.

The PPRO said,”Several suspects are still being held in custody and investigation into various murders committed by suspected cultists still ongoing.

“The Commissioner of Police has reiterated his stand that there will be no sacred cow in the new offensive against cultists.

“He said the command will never compromise the ongoing investigation and any one indicted by evidence will be brought to book no matter how highly placed.”
