The operation, carried out by security agencies following credible intelligence reports, uncovered disturbing evidence that has shocked residents of the community.

According to officials, security operatives discovered the decomposed body of a gateman inside one of the affected properties during a search of the premises. Investigators also identified another building in the area that was allegedly being used as a centre for cult-related activities and initiation ceremonies.

Several items believed to be connected to criminal operations were recovered during the raid. These included machetes, battle axes, native pots, laptops, suspicious ritual materials, and various documents that are now being examined by investigators.

Authorities described the discovery as a major breakthrough in ongoing efforts to dismantle criminal networks operating within the state. The government reiterated its commitment to ensuring that individuals involved in violent crimes, cultism, and other illegal activities are brought to justice.

The Edo State Government has urged residents to remain vigilant and continue providing useful information to security agencies. Officials stressed that community cooperation remains essential in the fight against crime and in maintaining peace and security across the state.

The latest development comes as the government continues its crackdown on criminal hideouts and activities across Edo State, with authorities promising that no individual or group involved in threatening public safety will be spared.
