Published By admin with Comments 0
Renewed cult clashes in the Alogi, Somorin and Obantoko areas of Ogun State on Saturday, between members of the outlawed Eiye and Aye confraternities have left about four persons dead.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the clashes, which occurred simultaneously, saw attacks and reprisals from the outlawed groups targeting individual members.
Our correspondent gathered from multiple eyewitnesses that the clashes occurred when some members of the Eiye group attacked and killed another member of the Aye group, and in a retaliatory attack, the Aye members also attacked the Eiye group, killing a member in the process.
While the number of casualties could not be ascertained at the time of this report due to differing eyewitness accounts, the clashes were said to have resulted in loss of lives.
An eyewitness who spoke with our correspondent on the condition of anonymity on Sunday disclosed that four persons were killed in the clash.
The eyewitness narrated that the cultists who went on a rampage in the Aregbe area shot sporadically, which left about four persons dead.
The source said, “Initially, I thought cultists’ rampage thrived more in Lagos than any state in Nigeria, but what I witnessed on Saturday in Ogun State had proved me wrong. Indeed, I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t witness it.
