According to The Punch, the clash between rival cults in the Fadeyi and Mushin areas of Lagos entered day four as another youth was shot dead on Railway Line on Tuesday morning. The previous night, a 32-year-old man, identified only as Tunde, was beheaded by another set of cultists, who came in their numbers, and also took away his head.
A source said, “The cultists were many. They got reinforcement from the Somolu, Bariga and Ebute Meta areas and overwhelmed everybody. They entered our area and brought Tunde out. “They shot him and then beheaded him before taking his head away.”
The Tuesday killing is the third death in four days. Policemen from the Alakara Police Station were said to have taken the corpses to their station from where they were taken to a mortuary.
The cult fight was, reportedly, between two factions- Toba boys and Toheeb’s gang. Both gangs were also said to be foot soldiers of the All progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.
