Operatives of the Lagos Police Command have arrested a suspected cult leader, Christian Chukwudi, 35, alias Marshal General over the murder of a Disc Jockey (DJ).
The deceased, identified as Victor Dickson, 32, was shot by assailants while performing on stage at a hotel in Abule-Ado on Saturday night.
His assailants, suspected to be members of a cult group, were said to have also used a matchet on Dickson before fleeing the hotel located along Community Road.
The incident, which occurred around 9pm, was said to have caused commotion at the hotel as guests scampered to safety.
It was gathered that police operatives who responded to a distress call, chased the suspects but they fled through FESTAC Town.
However, Chukwudi was said to have been arrested with the help of FESTAC vigilantes while he was trying to escape.
According to the police, the suspect, an alleged notorious armed robber and cultist, had terrorised the area for sometime.
Confirming the suspect’s arrest, police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said a local shot gun with one cartridge was recovered from him.
