A suspected cult leader, Andrew Awalebi,
has told Lagos State
Police Command that no amount of bullets can pierce through his body. He said that a charm he got from an
herbalist made him to be invincible to bullets.
The 35-year-old was arrested on Friday at a pub in Jakande Estate in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
He was said to be in company with three other suspected members of his gang when the police swooped on them around 8am.
Awalebi, in his statement to the
police, allegedly said he worked for a popular landowner in the Lekki
area, adding that he earned N40,000 monthly for securing the landed
property of his boss.
He explained that his protective charm
against gunshots was prepared for him by an herbalist in the Ijebu-Isiwo
area of Ogun State, adding that the charm was to save him from gunshots
of land grabbers in Lekki.
“I was initiated into the Eiye
Confraternity in 1996 by one Banji. Later in 1997, I was promoted as its
topmost leader after the death of Banji.
“We were eight members in the cult
group. We meet very early in the morning or late at night. I was
arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad sometime ago when my cult
group caused mayhem in Jakande Estate, inflicting injuries on passersby
in the area,” he added.
The indigene of Ilaje Local Government
Area, Ondo State, was reportedly given out by Thompson of the same cult,
who was arrested for robbery at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Thompson, in his confessional statement, had allegedly said Awalebi was the leader of the group.
Also arrested alongside Awalebi were Koffi Kwame (17), Daniel Olayiwola (36) and Tosin Issac (26).
The police claimed that the suspects all confessed to being members of the Eiye Confraternity.
