Man, 23, arrested for cultism
23-year old Oseikhuemen Ojie has been arraigned before an Oredo Magistrate Court for belonging to an unlawful society.
Police Prosecutor, ASP Sylvester Omor, told the court that the accused and others at large belonged to the Vikings secret cult.
He said the offence contrary to Section 3 (1) (c) and Section 3 (1) (a) of the secret cult prohibition Laws No. 8 of 2000 of Edo.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge of conspiracy and engaging in cult related activities.
Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. C.A. Nwoha , held that the court lacks jurisdiction to admit the accused to bail.
