A bride-to-be, Bose Christopher was among 31 suspected cultists arrested by the Police in Ogun State during the cult’s initiation party for new members in Abeokuta.
The bride-to-be and others arrested along with her were among the 70 suspects paraded by the Police on Wednesday for various offences including robbery, kidnapping, cultism, ritual killing, illegal possession of firearms and impersonation.
The woman, Bose Christopher a fashion designing apprentice, was arrested for alleged involvement in cultism, 24 hours to her proposed wedding ‘introduction’ in Abeokuta.
The police said the suspect was arrested by the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad during the initiation of cult members in a hotel. Christopher had gone to the initiation ceremony with a boyfriend when she was arrested alongside other suspected cultists, PremiumTimes reported.
“It is true, I went with my boyfriend to the party and it is also true that my wedding introduction was scheduled to hold the following day I went to the ceremony with my boyfriend,” Christopher who was paraded along with others at the Eleweran Police Station confirmed.
“My introduction was supposed to hold the day after we were arrested, but I couldn’t go.”
However, the lady who said her husband-to-be has stopped talking to her since she was arrested denied being a member of the cult group. She also denied knowing her boyfriend was a member, claiming that the relationship only started two weeks earlier.
“I met him (boyfriend) about two weeks ago and I never knew he is a cult member. He just called me after I closed from the shop to join him at the party,” she said.
