P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspects, who were arrested at No.15 Alado Street Shibiri area of Lagos, were being initiated into the cult group by one Yusuf Abu, 20.

This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, who confirmed their arrests.
On Sunday 18th August, 2019, DSP Elkana said that the arrest was possible through credible intelligence last week when the operatives of Operation Crush from Ilemba Hausa Police Station led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Kazeem Abonde, stormed the hide out of the ‘One Million Boys’ Confraternity during an initiation exercise. He said that three sharp cutlasses, a fetish calabash with dangerous charms and weeds suspected to be Indian hemp were recovered from them.
