‘Cultists’ kill rival gang member in Osun
In the Abaku neighbourhood of Osogbo, Osun State, some suspected cultists attacked and fatally macheted Qadri Agbefawo, a member of a rival cult.

On Saturday at around 2 p.m., the attackers used machetes and charms to attack Agbefawo, leaving him lying in a pool of blood.

The deceased was also a notorious cult member who had been on the watchlist of the Anti-cultism unit of the state command, according to police sources who asked to remain anonymous because they were not allowed to speak to the media.

Due to residents' fears of potential retaliation, tension has been raised in Abaku as a result of Agbefawo's murder.

Some residents of the area have vacated their homes to seek refuge in other communities.

Bimbo Dauda, a resident of the area, said they have been living in fear since the attack.

“We cannot sleep with our two eyes closed since on Saturday, some people are telling us that they are still planning another attack,” she said.

“In fact, many people have left their homes to other places. It is because I don’t have anywhere to go, I would have gone too.”

She explained that Agbefawo struggled to escape when the assailants attacked him but they overpowered him.

“They hit him with machetes and some charms before he fell. They macheted him to death,” Mrs Dauda said.

“I don’t know whether he is a cult member or not but I only know him as a thug , though many people said he’s a cultist. His body was left in the pool of blood, nobody can go near the body until the police arrived.”

Yemisi Opalola, the police spokesperson in the state, confirmed the incident.

Opalola told our reporter via a text message that “it is true. It happened on Saturday.”
