No less than 100 suspected members of the dreaded Badoo Boys cult were
arrested weekend, during a joint raid on the group’s hideouts by
operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, of Lagos State Police
Command, Anti-Robbery operatives, members of the Oodua peoples Congress,
OPC, and members of vigilante groups in Ikorodu.
Members of the cult had laid siege to Ikorodu and environs, unleashing an orgy of killings, during which they used heavy stones to crush the skulls of their victims.
Reliable Police sources yesterday, quoted a suspected member of the dreaded Badoo cult group as saying that each ritual handkerchief used to clean victims’ blood after operation was sold for N500,000 to herbalists and some prominent Nigerians for money rituals.
Sources told Vanguard that some of the suspects confessed to be mere errand boys, adding that their use of grinding stones in killing victims was to ensure efficacy of the money rituals.
At the last count, over 30 persons, among them, family members,
including toddlers, have had life snuffed out of them by the dreaded
Badoo boys.
Their modus operandi included storming victims’ residences while they
are asleep. It is suspected that they usually hypnotized their victims,
as none of them, except during last week’s operation at Odogunyan, had
ever been conscious of their presence.
They would, thereafter, smash victims’ heads with a grinding stone and
use a handkerchief to clean the blood and brain before leaving the
scene. They usually left without taking any valuables.
