Yesterday, September 20, the Lagos State police command announced the demoliion of five shrines in Ikorodu allegedly belonging to members of the dreaded cult group, Badoo.
The command that the state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, led a team of police officers and bulldozers to Agbowa in Ikorodu to demolish the shrines as part of efforts to rid the communities of Badoo members.
Badoo, a deadly cult group, has been terrorising residents of Ikorodu axis of Lagos State. The group has also killed many residents of the area.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the raid on the shrines believed to be used by members of the ritual cult group.
Mr. Famous-Cole said a suspect identified simply as James, who claimed to be a native doctor, was arrested, adding that two victims were rescued from one of the shrines.

“We are in the deep forest of Agbowa. Our visit here is based on a long collaboration with eminent persons of Ikorodu, who in partnership with the police, volunteered information concerning existence of illegal shrines, where kidnappers, ritual killers and hoodlums kidnap people and lure them under false pretences, to defraud them,” the police commissioner was quoted to have said.
“Sometimes, these unsuspecting victims lose their lives. We have three of such shrines in Agbowa alone, this is the first one. I have the mandate of all traditional rulers in Ikorodu and indeed, the Lagos State government, not only to uncover shrines used for committing crimes, but also to destroy them.
“This is why I always tell my officers and men to build confidence and trust with members of the public. That is a basic fundamental aspect of community policing. Eminent people gave this information, leading to uncovering of three shrines in Agbowa.”
According to TVC, something strange reportedly happened during the demolition as dollar notes started to fly around while the fourth shrine was being demolished.
