All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday raised the alarm over cult clashes which have resulted in the death of some people in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

At least five persons have lost their lives in Ondo West Local Government in the last few days following clashes between Eiye and Aye confraternities in the community.

These killings, the chairmen of APC in Ondo West and East, Messrs Pelumi Bernard Aro and Frederick Otemuyiwa, said were politically-motivated.
Addressing a press conference at the party secretariat, Aro said the killings might scare voters away from polling stations during the general elections.

ro, who was flanked by party leaders in the constituency, asked the law enforcement agencies to prevent further loss of lives in Ondo.

He said: “We are worried by the spate of killings around the kingdom by groups suspected to be cultists; an incident that has become worrisome to the peaceful coexistence of the good people of Ondo City.

“It is important to bring to the notice of the public as well as the security agents that not less than three young men had been brought down by the guns of these killer cultist gangs.

“The last occurrence was in broad daylight on the 20th of January 2019, about 5.30p.m. at Akure motor park area, very close to the residence of a popular candidate of one of the political parties in the kingdom, who had his campaign flag-off on the same day.

The young man was shot dead and the killers were seen shooting sporadically into the air to scare the people around the vicinity for them to escape from being apprehended.

These killer gangs were seen coming down from a vehicle suspected to be coming from the campaign flag-off of their party on sporting the victim who is seemingly believed to be their target.

The character of these killings in recent times can be likened to be politically motivated, apparently to show supremacy and control over unprotected citizens of Ondo City towards the forthcoming elections

“It is imperative as responsible community leader and party chieftains to alert the public to this unwholesome development and dastard act with the view to charge the security agents to rise up and stem the tide of security breach in the community.

“We hereby call on the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gbenga Adeyanju, the Area Commander, Ondo Area Command, the DPOs, within the command, to act swiftly as a matter of urgency to curb the nefarious activities of these killer cultist gangs before the due date of the elections for the good people of Ondo kingdom to be able to exercise their right to franchise.”
