Suspected Cultists Kill One In Ogun

Suspected cultists killed Olumide Ifeoluwa, also known as Tescom, in the Ijeun Tuntun district of Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun state on Sunday night.

According to a local neighbour who spoke with journalists, Olumide, an accused member of the Aiye fraternity, was slain at a car wash near where he used to hang out in the evenings.

He was claimed to be with a group of individuals when his assailant swooped in and shot him in the head.

“The whole thing happened at around 6 to 7 pm. Tescom as he was fondly called was at the car wash, I think he was always there in the evening to relax with some of his friends,” the source said.

“We heard that those who shot him dead came on a motorcycle and they just went after only him and shot him in the head. The incident really brought fear on the people as they took to their heels because nobody wanted to be caught up in the crisis.

“Although, those that shot him dead had bolted away immediately, but people were afraid that the deceased group might come for a reprisal attack. The police from Ibara Divisional headquarters came at about 9 pm to evacuate his corpse. It is really disturbing and sad.”

SP Omolola Odutola, the State Police Command’s spokesperson, verified the event on Monday.

“One Olumide Danish Ifeloluwa ‘Tescom’ was shot in the head by unidentified gunmen in an ash Colour Corolla with no registration number at Somefun, Ijeun Tuntun, today 31:3:04 @ 19:55hrs. Dr. have confirmed one Danisa dead,” the PPRO said.
