The Cross River State Police Command on Friday said it had arrested no fewer than eight suspected cultists who were involved in the killings of six persons alleged to be members of rival cult groups in Calabar.

The new Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Ozi Obeh, while briefing reporters on assumption of office said his men have been deployed to all parts of the state to ensure that no cult group was given the opportunity to operate.

“Following the cult war that claimed over six lives of some suspected cultists, I wish to inform you that the police have arrested eight suspects in connection with the killings.

“I can assure you that we will get other members of the group where ever they are and bring them to justice.

“No cult group will be allowed to operate under my watch as the Commissioner of police.


“I am here to fight crime and other forms of illegality to the barest minimum,’’ he assured.
