Nagogo said the information had it that a house in Unguwar Dallatu, near the motor park, was being used for heinous activities.
He said the informants said residents noticed whenever the cultist entered the house all sorts of living creatures such as lizards and ants would die.
A team of policemen invaded the house and on sighting the headlights of security vehicles the cultists begun to chant incantation and then fled.
