The Oyo State police command said it had arrested 16 suspects, including a student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, over alleged armed robbery, cultism and conspiracy.
The Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, said the LAUTECH student had confessed to being a member of illegal Eiye secret confraternity in the institution and had been unleashing mayhem on members of the public and students.
The 400-level student of Medicine and Surgery in the University of Calabar (UNICAL) who was arrested for alleged cultism and illegal possession of firearms said he got the arms for self-protection.
Ikezue Nnamdi Kingsley made the confession while being paraded yesterday by the Cross River State police command along with 24 other suspects for various crimes. He said he got the firearms from a friend and that the military uniform which was also found on him was gotten when he was a student of Nigeria military school in Zaria.
