Police Spokesperson Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi has said that almost every young person in Sagamu, Ogun State, is a cultist.
The police image maker said this on September 18, 2023, while reacting to a call for help by a resident who said that over 2o people had been killed in Sagamu in the last few days as cult groups fought each other.
Adejobi’s comments were criticized by some people who argued that he was making sweeping generalizations.
The officer however insisted that he knew what he was talking about, having worked in Sagamu for two years between 2006 and 2008.
“I am an authority on Sagamu case. Ask them, they know. No one from Sagamu can dispute what I have said,” he posted.
He added that “the elders know how to handle them” and “the politicians know what to do.”
His posts on X were shared after at least 20 people were killed by cultists in Sagamu.
