Saint Saviour in Ikpoba Okha Local
Government Area of the state recently.
According to a source in the school, eight of the
suspects were apprehended at flash spots within the
school compound.
Their arrest prompted the police to conduct a
search on some students in the classrooms, where
items believed to be emblems of notorious cult
groups were recovered from them.
It was also learnt that reports made against the
students by some parents may have been responsible
for the arrest.

the police command to release those found to be
innocent at the end of their investigations.

Officer, DSP Stephen Onwochei, on the arrest
were unsuccessful.

questioning at the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Benin.

These following students should be kicked away from this school because it will give some threaten to the other students who enrolled in the class. I just hope that this incident should be given more concerns in order to prevent this incident again.
