At least five people were shot dead
yesterday following a clash between two
rival cult groups, the Eiye Confraternity and
the Buccaneers.
The two cult groups comprised students of
Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY,
formerly Ogun State Polytechnic, Abeokuta,
Ogun State, southwest Nigeria.
The bone of contention reliably
gathered, was that a member of Buccaneers
was allegedly killed by the Eiye Confraternity.
The Buccaneers in their bid to avenge the
death of their member, stormed Onikolobo
area of the state, adjudged to be the
stronghold of the Eiye Confraternity and
engaged them in a gun duel.
Sources said Thursday that the gun
fight which lasted for hours at the
Onikolobo area of the town, left five people
dead after it ended.
The area has now been deserted as
students and indigenes are scared of more
reprisal attacks.
All efforts to speak with the school’s Public
Relations Officer proved abortive as his call
was not going through as at the time of
filing this report.
The State Police Command PRO, Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed the incident and said
they have restored normalcy in the area.
