Osun state police command on Friday confiscated a cow allegedly meant for the celebration of the annual festival of cult activities in the state.

The cow which was inscribed with the word, Oroki, got an axe drawn on its body and was seized at the Egbatedo area of Osogbo, the state capital.

Speaking on the incident, the command Public Relations Officer, Mrs Yemisi Opalola hinted that, the cow was confiscated by the command anti-cultism unit.

According to her, “After intelligence revealed plans by a particular cult to celebrate the 7/7 festival, the CP ordered operatives to ensure that the plan by these cultists fail.

“The operatives, working in line with that directive, combed every part of the state and went to Egbatedo, a suburb of Osogbo. When the suspects saw them, they fled but the cow they planned to use for the celebration was seized,” she said.
