A recent clash between rival cult groups in Ogun State has resulted in the death of one cultist and the arrest of another.
This was disclosed in a post by the Ogun State Police Command on X.com on Wednesday.
The command wrote, “Death of a cultist: May, 2024. One Segun aka “Ojo Ibo was killed and his right wrist chopped off, at about 2130hrs of 14th May, 2024 after being chased by a rival cult at Bode Olude Junction.
“One Ishola Joseph, a cultist, was nabbed and beaten while trying to escape.”
It will be recalled that a suspected cult clash that occurred in the Bode Olude area in the Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State claimed the life of a yet-to-be-identified person in April.
