A 12-year-old student is among three secondary school students reportedly arrested by the police in Ogun State over a suspected cult initiation gathering.

According to media reports published on Friday, October 23, 2026, the suspects are aged 12, 18 and 18.

Police Recover Suspected Weapons

Reports indicate that police officers, working alongside members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, carried out an operation that led to the arrest of the three students.

Items suspected to be connected with the planned gathering were reportedly recovered during the operation.

The suspects were subsequently taken into custody as investigations continued into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Investigation Expected to Continue

The case was reportedly scheduled to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation and possible prosecution.

Authorities are expected to establish the purpose of the gathering and determine whether any offences were committed.
