A notorious cultist in Osun State, Rasheed Hammed, popularly known Oko-Ilu, has been arrested.

Oko-Ilu, who has been terrorising Ede and allegedly caused deaths of many, was arrested by men of the anti cultism unit of the State police command.

He was arrested around 4 a.m. in his hideout in the State capital and is currently cooling off in the police custody.

Rasheed, a welder by vocation, is being trailed by the security agents for allegedly causing death of many people in Ede community.

‘Rasidi Baale Oko’lu’ was allegedly linked to the death of Hassan Adedeji, a Higher National Diploma graduate of Banking and Finance of Federal Polytechnic, Ede, awaiting his call-up letter, as well as, an Okada rider, whose identity was not made known.
