Operatives of the Anambra State Police Command, attached to the Special Anti Cult Squad (SPACS), have foiled cult clash at Enugwu Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

According to a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the operatives also recovered locally made gun and bullets.

Ikenga said that the operatives, who acted on “actionable intelligence received regarding the gathering of a dangerous cult group for a planned rivalry fight in the early hours of 4th December, 2025, swiftly mobilized to the scene and arrested Oluebube Ifediorah ‘M’ aged 21 years and Offorbuike Emmanuel ‘M’ aged 25 years respectively.

“The suspects were arrested in Enugwu Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area. The team also recovered a locally-made double-barrel shotgun and two live cartridges.
The recovered firearm was found in a red bag that Oluebube Ifediorah had on him, as several other members of the cult gang had managed to flee the scene into the surrounding bush.

According to the police spokesman, efforts were in top gear to track down and apprehend the remaining members of the gang who escaped.

“This operation is part of the ongoing efforts by the Anambra State Police Command to rid the State of cult-related violence and criminal activities”, Ikenga said.
