Police Arrest 19 Suspects Over Cult Clash In Owo by OneOnland(op): 5:31pm On Jan 07, 2025
Tragically, a mother and her child were among the innocent victims, having been struck by stray bullets during the clash.
Police authorities in Ondo State have taken 19 individuals into custody on suspicion of cult involvement, following a violent confrontation between rival groups in the town of Owo.

Tragically, a mother and her child were among the innocent victims, having been struck by stray bullets during the clash.

A former youth leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Fisayo Oladipo, also known as Fissey Ehin Ogbe, was also tragically killed in the cult clash in Owo, Ondo State, on Monday, January 6, 2025.

He was shot, along with another person, during the confrontation. The victims' bodies, including Oladipo's, have been taken to the Federal Medical Centre morgue in Owo.

The Ondo State Police Command spokesperson, Funmilayo Odunlami, said police officers have been deployed to restore peace in the affected community.

Ondo State Police Commissioner Wilfred Afolabi visited Owo to evaluate the situation and confirmed that 19 suspects have been arrested in connection with the clashes.

During his visit, Afolabi noted that his team is monitoring the town's compliance with the state government-imposed curfew, adding that “normalcy has returned, and there is calm across the town”.


He clarified that only four deaths have been officially confirmed, despite reports of a higher casualty count.

He reassured law-abiding citizens that they would be protected and provided with a safe environment, while warning those responsible for disrupting the peace that they would be held accountable and face the full force of the law.

Likely cults involve Ayes and Eiye, repent and flee the area, it's better not to join at all. You lost your freedom the day you blend. To be Jew man dey sweet, you water wey no get enemy.

Another tragic loss of innocent lives, including a mother and her child, caught in the madness of a cult clash. It’s painful to see how these senseless acts of violence continue to destroy families and communities. Innocent people shouldn’t have to keep paying the price for a problem that can be addressed with better awareness, stricter enforcement, and genuine care for the youth.

Cultist are the authorities in Owo. Above the law. They claim they have soldiers, police, and federal power behind them. They act with impunity.

Mention the country that doesn't have its own internal problems

It doesn't exist

Nigeria is actually one of the best places to live

Where else will celebrities be buying billions of naira worth properties and their local government is not getting a dime from them, can such happen anywhere in Europe or America that's the model of high standard of living?

You forgot that living with peace of mind is far greater than buying billions of mansion with stolen money that doesn'tguarantee not being kidnapped? Truth be told, Nigeria is one of the worst place to live in the planet earth. Hug the truth!
