The repentant cultists also surrendered one AK-47 riffle, one pump action gun and three matchetes.
The National Coordinator of Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices, CSP Ebere Amaraizu, made this known in a statement circulated in the media.
CSP Amaraizu said that the renunciation was done at Rumuokani in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State on Friday.
He said that the repentant cultists were members of Iceland and Deygbam cult groups, adding that they embraced peace by renouncing their membership and surrendering arms to become better citizens and contribute to nation-building.
The National Coordinator of Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices is an initiative of the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, meant to prevent the youth from joining cultism.
