Operatives from the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a suspected cultist, Peter Falola, for allegedly assaulting a resident in the Agbado area of the state and damaging properties worth over N1.3 million.
The suspect, known as ‘Black Jesus,’ reportedly attacked Oladipupo Adeniran’s home, where he made threats to burn the house down.
Confirming the incident in a statement on Tuesday, police spokesperson Omolola Odutola said the suspect struck Adeniran on the head with a broken bottle. She further explained that while neighbors quickly rushed Adeniran to the hospital for medical care, Falola allegedly set fire to the victim’s apartment, causing damage estimated at over N1.4 million.
“She said, ‘He invaded the suspect’s home, making violent threats. He allegedly stabbed the suspect multiple times after smashing a bottle on his head in a fit of anger.
“Falola also allegedly set the victim’s clothes ablaze, destroying items valued at over N1.4 million, including a 6kg gas cylinder, a ceiling fan, an Itel Android phone, a set of chairs, and eight aluminium windows. The sitting room and bedroom ceilings were also reduced to ruins.’”
Following a report filed at the Agbado Police Station on January 20, 2025, officers promptly arrested the suspect. Investigators have visited the crime scene.
Odutola added that the investigation is ongoing, and the suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Abeokuta for a thorough investigation.
