Suspected cultists kill one in Ogun
Suspected cultists have killed one Olumide Ifeoluwa popularly called Tescom, in Ijeun Tuntun area of Abeokuta, Ogun State capital on Sunday night.
A resident of the area who spoke to journalists said that Olumide, an alleged member of Aiye confraternity, was murdered at a car wash in the area where he used to stay and relax in the evening.
He was said to have been in the company of some people when his assailant swooped on him 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 motorcycle and they just went after only him and shot him on the head. The incident really brought fear on the people as they took to their heels because nobody wants 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 reprisal attack. The police from Ibara Divisional headquarters came at about 9pm to evacuate his corpse. It is really disturbing and sad.”
Spokesperson for the State Police command, SP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident on Monday.
“One Olumide Danish Ifeloluwa ‘Tescom’ was shot in the head by unidentified gunmen in a 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.
