A man, identified as Aniyikaye, has been hacked to death by suspected cult members in the Owoope area of Osogbo.

Sources in the area told Punch’s correspondent that the entire neighborhood was in panic when the assailants, who were harmed with different weapons, attacked the victim, who was alleged to be a member of another cult.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a police van which arrived at the scene after the attackers fled, took Aniyikaye’s corpse away.

After the killing, 10 suspected cultists were reportedly arrested during raids on black spots in Osogbo, the state capital, by men of the Amotekun Corps and the Joint Task Force.

During the raid, a suspect, who allegedly engaged the team in a gun duel, was shot in the leg.

A security source privy to the operation said the raid was carried out after the killing in the Owo-Ope area.

He said, “Our intention is to rid the state of crime. One of the cultists was also injured after he violently attacked us. He is receiving treatment at a hospital now.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident.

She said, “The man killed was suspected to be a member of a rival cult. Investigation has commenced to get to the root of the incident.”

On the number of suspected cultists arrested after the raid, Opalola asked for time to ascertain the figure, adding that she had not been properly briefed.

Any death that is caused by cultism, is a wasteful death.

I hope our youth would be sensible enough to know that the enemy is not within us the youths, if only they can use this energy for positive plans like fighting against bad governance would make cultism meaningful

What gain? Shameless death

Tell them to shun cultism , they no go hear. Anyway we too plenty for naija before. 1 idiot down, others should quickly follow. Good riddance to bad rubbish

A cultist is just a score ... A dead man walking. Even if you live long, you are still dead inside.

His death was expected even by him because when you belong, you have successfully become a walking target and one day other ignorant peers will come to kill you and that is when you will know you have been alone all along.

If you have sense don't belong but is you don't, RIP no dey finish.

Anytime you want to report the death of a cultist, always start with "GOODNEWS, ANOTHER MUMU HAS DIED" thank you.

Na mymu dey join cult
