The Divisional Police Officer of Olosan Police Station, CSP Adekunle Omisankin, who confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria, said all the suspects belonged to the ”Gang Star’’ cult.
Omisankin said the suspects claimed to have been in existence since 2013 operating as students, stressing that they were between 17 years and 18 years old.
“One student-suspect was brought to our station by LNSC on Friday. Our investigation led to the arrest of 10 other students, including a female student,” Omisankin said.
