The Oyo State Police Commissioner, Samuel Adegbuyi, told reporters while addressing them that there is no hiding place for said cult leaders who are identified as Ogungbemi and Ojoweli.

Adegbuyi also promised that anyone caught causing trouble would be severely dealt with.

"The two cult leaders have been declared wanted and the police are doing everything possible to bring them to justice. The law banning carnival in the state is still in force. And the people are reminded that the police will not allow any breakdown of law and order," the commissioner said.
