The supremacy tussle also claimed the life of Chairman of Keke NAPEP operators in Ojuelegba, weekend, following the latter’s reported intervention during the fight which led to the undergraduate’s death.
Vanguard gathered that the student identified as Adeolu Otenaike, 26, left Benin Republic on March 18, 2013 to celebrate the purchase of a car with his friends, in the company of five other students.
Eye witnesses said the party was held at Arena, a club located on 39, Jibowu Street, said to be the headquarters and meeting point for suspected members of Black Axe Confraternity.
But trouble, as gathered, started after Adeolu was reportedly accosted by one Taiye, a suspected cultist and members of his gang, while seeing some of his friends off, at about 11.50p.m.
He was reportedly beaten and dragged to Empire area where Chairman of the tri-cycle operators, Lekan Lawal, reportedly intervened by telling the assailants not to kill Adeolu in his domain.
It was gathered that Adeolu was dragged away from the area and reportedly shot in the head and neck. One of his friends simply identified as Chinedu who managed to escape, reportedly sustained injuries.
It was gathered that same day, four other persons whose identities were given simply as Martins, Olosa, Fadeyi and Adeyemi were killed at different spots also in Mushin.
In an apparent move to conceal their identities, the assailants reportedly killed Lawal at Ibidun Street at about 9.30p.m, Saturday.
Residents of the area, who are currently living in fear, told Vanguard that the area was calm before the cult war.
For instance, a resident disclosed that last Monday, the cultists went on shooting spree around the area, when two persons were hit by stray bullets while sleeping in their shops.
Police sources told Vanguard that investigation had begun with a view to arresting the suspected cultists. It was gathered that some members of the confraternity had fled the area following police investigation.

Do these maggots ever ask themselves if it were their siblings that was shot dead how would they feel? And what did the guys do to deserve such sentence even if they have committed such act somewhere or some time in the past? vengeance is mine is not a joke that God said in the Bible. you guys who takes delight in killing remember that that in that same portion God also said I will repay. so u murderers just killed yourselves by not waiting for God to take vengeance for you.
