Residents of Ikorodu area of
Lagos, Southwest Nigeria are now living in fear as cultists are on the loose in
the area, wiping out a family of three.
It was gathered that the
cultists struck at Ojuirowo area of Ikorodu and killed a family of
three-father, mother and child on Friday morning.
The cultists were said to belong
to the Eiye cult group who were on a vengeance mission.
It was learnt that they shot
sporadically in the air, sending panic among residents of the area.
A resident of the area who craved
anonymity, revealed that cultists had been on the loose also at Ota-Ona
area of Ikorodu, saying that last week, a neighbour of his was shot by
cultists.
A source in the area added that
cultists shot dead a vulcaniser in his shop last month at Ota-Ona junction for
being a member of a rival cult group.
Also, a resident said early on
Friday, that cultists operating on okada were seen shooting sporadically as
residents scampered to safety.
They were said to have invaded
the Ladega Market in Ikorodu and looted traders’ shops in broad day light.
The cultists were also said to
have smashed the windscreen of a woman’s car and made away with her phones.
The police were said to be
toothless as they have not been able to smash the cult gang holding sway in
Ikorodu.
During the Eid-el-Fitri prayer,
the Chief Imam of Ikorodu, Olowo Oribi lamented the rising wave of cultism in
the area and called on people to desist from such despicable activities.
As a result of cult activities in
Ikorodu, night life is said to have been eroded as people would recede to their
homes as early as 8.00pm, as the police are not on top of their game.
When contacted, Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, Bala Elkana said he was not in town and that he would
call to find out.
