Read Time:1 Minute, 42 Second
Two adult males have been killed in separate suspected cult-related attacks in Lagos and Ogun States.
The first incident occurred on Saturday near the Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka, Yaba, where the victim was reportedly hacked to death by about six suspected cultists.
A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the attack as a suspected reprisal. “The victim was accosted along the axis leading to the school gate, and what started as a confrontation led to a fight. He was stabbed in the head in the process. It was later discovered that the assailants were suspected cultists,” the source said.
According to a video seen, the deceased’s body was lying by the roadside. The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the incident, adding that one suspect had been arrested. “One suspect has been arrested in connection with the incident. Investigation is ongoing,” she said.
The second incident occurred in the Magboro area of Ogun State, where a suspected Eiye cult member, identified as Cegaga, was stabbed to death during a clash involving rival cult groups.
Insiders said the clash followed a disagreement over money between the deceased and a suspected Buccaneer member, Corner. A suspected Vikings member, Troup, reportedly intervened and stabbed the victim. Residents discovered the body the following morning.
Suleiman, a resident, expressed concern over rising cult violence in the community: “We have been experiencing a series of cult attacks in the area over the past few weeks. The one that happened on Saturday is just one of many incidents. We need the intervention of the authorities before it escalates.”
The Ogun State Police Command spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, could not be reached for comment.
An earlier report on March 3 stated that two suspected cultists, Monday and Efe, were shot dead in a fresh wave of cult-related violence in the Ojo area of Lagos State.
These incidents highlight a worrying increase in cult-related clashes in both Lagos and Ogun States, prompting calls for urgent intervention by law enforcement agencies.
