Sokoto Police Arrest 3 Notorious Members Of A Cult Group "SAI MALAN"

The Sokoto State Police Command, under the leadership of Cp Ahmed Musa,psc through its dedicated Anti-Kidnapping Unit, has announced a significant breakthrough in its fight against organized crime with the arrest of three notorious members of a cult group known as "Sai Malam." 

The group has been a growing source of fear and concern for communities across the state.

The arrests were carried out on Friday, November 28, 2025, at about 2300 hours, following a meticulously executed operation driven by credible intelligence. 

The primary suspect, Usman Shu'aibu 'M', along with two other accomplices, were apprehended and has since provided detailed confessions regarding the group's activities.

During interrogation, the suspects revealed that they were initiated into the unlawful "Sai Malam" society through a private WhatsApp group named "Red Chamber." 

Investigations confirm that this digital platform was created with the explicit purpose of luring and initiating innocent youths into a wide range of criminal and morally reprehensible activities, including:

*   Witchcraft and Ritualist Practices
*   The pursuit of Demonic Powers
*   Acts of Homosexuality
*   Organized Thuggery and Violence

In light of these disturbing revelations, the Sokoto State Police Command issues a strong advisory warning to all parents and guardians. 

The "Red Chamber" WhatsApp group highlights a dangerous trend where criminal elements are exploiting digital platforms and social media to target and corrupt the youth.

Parents are urged to:

*  Actively monitor their children's activities on smartphones and social media applications.

* Engage in open conversations about the dangers of online groups and the importance of rejecting unsolicited invitations from strangers.

* Be vigilant regarding sudden changes in their wards' behavior, social circles, and secrecy around their phones.

* Report any suspicious online activities or peer group influences to the authorities immediately.

The arrest of these individuals is a direct response to the growing concerns and pleas from residents regarding the destabilizing activities of the "Sai Malam" group. 

The  Command wishes to reassure the public that their voices have been heard.

"We want to assure the good people of Sokoto that we have been listening to their concerns. 

The arrest of these suspects is a clear demonstration that their calls for action have been answered. Our efforts have disrupted a key cell of this notorious group, and we are committed to ensuring the safety and security of every citizen," Cp Musa stated.

The Police Command confirms that investigative efforts are being intensified to track down and arrest the remaining members of the "Sai Malam" gang. 

The public is encouraged to continue cooperating with security agencies by providing timely and useful information.

The Command is dedicated to protecting the lives and property of all citizens within the state. 

Through proactive intelligence-led policing, community cooperation, and relentless pursuit of criminal elements, we strives to maintain peace, law, and order.
