Police Arrest Eiye Cultist for Sh0oting His Colleague for Renouncing Membership in Delta State

Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested a suspected member of the Eiye Confraternity, Oghenebuba Mamatime, for allegedly sh%%ting a former cult member who renounced his membership in Jesse, Delta State.

The command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, said the suspect had been on the police watch list over his alleged involvement in cult-related activities before he was arrested on July 21, 2026, in a joint operation involving police operatives and youths from Jesse Community.

According to Edafe, the arrest followed a complaint by the victim, who alleged that Mamatime sh%t him on July 2, 2026, along Ujomi Road in Jesse, after he decided to leave the cult group.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, an alleged member of the Eiye Confraternity, was unhappy with the victim’s decision to renounce cultism. Police said the suspect allegedly tried to force the victim back into the confraternity, and an argument reportedly ensued before the victim was sh%t.

Edafe further disclosed that officers recovered three locally made pistols and one locally made single-barrel g¥n from the suspect during his arrest.
