Three police officers have been detained by the police in Imo State after been seen in a viral video participating in an alleged secret cult activity.
In the video the officers were seen shooting in the air and interacting with individuals suspected to be members of Vikings, a notorious cult group. The officers then danced, chanted incantations as they pointed towards Owerri the capital city of Imo State.
Imo State Command spokesperson Henry Okoye, said in a statement: “The officers have been arrested and are presently in detention while the (Police) Command has commenced a thorough investigation into their alleged involvement in cultism and other related activities.

He identified the officers as Obinna Peter, an inspector, Augustine Amaechi and Victor Ejikeme – both corporals.
