Lagos Bloody Clash Suspects Arrested by SOLMICHAEL(m): 9:11am On Jan 25, 2016 |
The Lagos State Government on Sunday said the state
police command had arrested seven suspected cult
members, who engaged in a supremacy battle in the
Bariga area of the state.
The clash, which occurred on Saturday, led to the
killing of a 65-year-old woman.
The deceased, Adejoke Adefuye, was burnt to death
after her house on 19, Oshinfolarin Street, Bariga, was
set ablaze by the rampaging cults.
It was gathered that trouble started when members of
Eiye Confraternity, led by one Ibrahim Balogun,
engaged another rival cult, Aiye Confraternity, led by a
man identified simply as Gideon, in a supremacy fight in
the area.
The two grougs were said to have vandalised some
vehicles parked by the roadside in the area, while two
members of the Aiye Confraternity — Abiye and
Daniel — lost their lives in the clash.
A statement on Sunday quoted the Police Public
Relations Officer in the state, Dolapo Badmus, as
confirming the arrest of the cultists, as well as the
seizure of some of the weapons used during the bloody
clash.
The statement read in part, “Badmus said the second in
command of one of the groups was among those arrested,
while three power bikes, live and expended cartridges,
and a tricycle, popularly known as keke Marwa, used
to get to the scene, were confiscated.
“The PPRO said the cult members have been
terrorising the area for some days, adding that the police
were able to make some arrests due to the quick
response to distress calls received concerning the clash.
“Those arrested, according to Badmus, are Afees
Fagunwa, Nurudeen Lateef, Richard Ewa, Richard
Abayomi, Mohammed Musa, Kayode Dada and Adams
Adelakun.”
The statement said the remains of the deceased had been
deposited at the Gbagada General Hospital for autopsy
by the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit,
while other occupants of the burnt building who sustained
minor injuries were treated by the Lagos State
Ambulance Services.
Badmus was quoted as stating that further investigation
into the matter had been transferred to the State
Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
