Suspected members of the Eiye Confraternity have gruesomely murdered a man believed to be a member of a rival cult group in the Alaba area of Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro reports that the killing was the latest in a series of cult-related attacks that have claimed multiple lives across the state in recent weeks.

A video obtained from the Telegram channel of Naija Confra on Sunday showed the victim, later identified only as Hope, sitting on the floor during an interrogation by the suspected cultists.

In the footage, the visibly terrified man introduced himself, saying, “My name is Hope. I live on Abanise Street.”

A second, shorter clip, less than 25 seconds long, showed a bloodied Hope lying motionless on the floor, with deep machete cuts to his neck and face.

The caption accompanying the footage read in part, “We received a video showing Eiye cultists interrogating a man they later killed.”

The killing sparked outrage on social media, with many users expressing shock over the victim’s death.

Njokwu Onyekachi (@Kharchy) wrote, “This dude stays in my area… I watched him grow… a very quiet and easygoing person, ready to apologise even when not at fault.

“He never got involved in trouble.”

Another user, @itzpodoskii, said, “I watched this, and I felt pity and sorrow for this guy.

“Look how innocent he looks, not knowing that’s his last moment. Answering the questions incorrectly.”

Similarly, @Nobemedoyou lamented, “This is very sad. I know Hope very well. Who would have thought he’d be a victim of cultism? Being butchered like a chicken. A very calm and gentle boy who’s jovial. RIP bro.”

Calling for urgent action, Umeh Ikpeazu (@UmmehCassidy) wrote, “The security agencies should act because this is becoming unbecoming. This is so senseless.”

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, did not respond to messages from our correspondent seeking information on whether any arrests had been made.

The killing comes just weeks after a similar incident happened on July 19, when gunmen shot a man dead at Ojo-Igbede in the Ojo area of the state.

The victim, who had stepped out to buy food, was forced to kneel before two armed men on a motorcycle who opened fire.

Abeg, Wetin Be The Gain Of Cultist?

Mr Blogger "King Of Bad News" Is Just Asking?

Too Many Annoying News, God Almighty Help...

The most wicked thing one could do to himself is to join a cultist group.

Cult matter na them them. He didn't know his deeds would follow him to his new area, thinking he wouldn't be known. I remember this story 2 weeks ago.Some people saying he can't hurt a fly. Gentle, bla bla bla. Make Una rest. He himself knew he was a cultist wey commit somewhere. Those who killed him and him alone, came specifically for him cos knew him far more than yall will ever know.

This is Tinubu's Lagos he singlehandedly built according to nairaland Agbadorians.

Owomida-cultists are one of the legacies of Tinubu. No wonder that female corper called it "SMELLING LAGOS".

People dey find money and how their lives go better. Some fools dey do cult in this 21st century

Indeed, gun don't kill people... People kill people. When you live by the sword, you'd most definitely die by the sword.


#SayNoToCultism✊

Wannabe gangsters. Why not put your killing prowess to good use by joining the army. At least you can kill all the bandits and if you get killed...then good riddance cos you cultists are the least in the gene pool!

With your low self esteem and need to exert power using violence to overcompensate for your insecurities!

End time stepping out to buy food

If only he can see the future

Cultism will continue been on the rise ,when cultist are openly celebrated and elevated in our society and even given high seats of honour . The likes of Abu Abel,portable and many other celebrities that openly claim to be cultists . All these coupled with poverty and high drug use makes cultism a dangerous time bomb for our society

South West youths should stop these killings and be responsible... We don't want this ! The government must start engaging them in meaningful projects

Best thing is to relocate your children abroad if you have the means and money . Don't let them stay in Naija for higher education

Majority of government officials are members of these cult groups . The funniest thing is that the celebrities don't engage in these killings but the larger majority who are in the poverty group believe that they can only become like their celebs if they. Kill each other ,

Ok, a very noble and highly commendable achievement.

Sometimes, innocent people fall victim of cult war. The other day, it was phone call that saved a keke rider whom would have been killed mistakenly.

May the deeds of the dead follow him and judge him.

Cultists.

One of the most stupid entities I've ever seen.

so people don’t get killed abroad? You lots are just ignorant.

Useless people Useless people Useless souls, yeye

What is the gain of joining cults please. Is there some salary and allowance they're being paid. Someone should educate me please

The issues with fighting cultism is that they are everywhere even in the military, police and all the law enforcement agencies. They are even high ranking officials. So how can you fight them?
Even all the top artiste like Davido, Burna boy, Wizkid and many more you all idolize are cultist. 🤣🤣
