The Ogun State Police Command on Thursday reportedly invaded the Redemption Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, and arrested 236 people inside the auditorium, New Telegraph reports.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, who made this disclosure, said the exercise followed series of reports and intelligence gathering on how people with questionable character use the auditorium as refuge after committing crime.

“As early as 2am, they arrested 236 persons, 165 are males while 71 are females.
