About five people were shot dead
yesterday following a clash between two rival campus cults operating at
the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
NigerianEYE findings showed that the
clash was between the Eiye Confraternity and the Buccaneers who
allegedly operated unchallenged for hours at Onikolobo axis of the town.
An unconfirmed report had it that the
Buccaneers, who were retaliating the killing of a member of its group by
the rival cult, launched a lethal gun battle with the group, forcing
residents of Oluwo, Onikolobo, Iyana-Oloke and its environs to shut
their doors out of fear.
At the time of filing this report, NigerianEYE was unable to ascertain the remote cause of the incident, but
the atmosphere around the school premises was calm and peaceful when
our correspondent visited the campus early yesterday. However, but
tension was high in host communities of the institution.
Confirming the incident, the Police
Public Relations Officer in the state, Olumiyiwa Adejobi, said he was
only aware of only one dead body and pledged that the police were on top
of the situation towards restoring peace to the institution.
Adejobi explained that the police were yet to confirm the identity of the dead body.
According to him, “We heard that he was either a ‘yahoo’ guy or a cult member, but what is certain is that the two groups are devilish and the police have swung into action to restore normalcy in the areas.”
