Osun Police Confirm Two Dead During Cult Clash In Osogbo
Osun State Police Command say two people were killed during a clash between cult members in Oke Baale area of Osogbo.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Yemisi Opalola, who confirmed this on Friday in Osogbo, said that those killed were members of the cult groups involved in the clash.
He said, “A cult group attacked a rival group and this led to the death of one person, which later led to a reprisal and which subsequently led to the death of the second person.
Report said the crisis started at Ode Oga Junction in Oke Baale area of Osogbo when some cult members abducted a memeber of a rival cult group.
That made colleagues of the abducted cult member to mobilise and storm the hideout of the rival group, which prompted the use of dangerous weapons by both sides.
“When the Police were called to the scene of the attack, the warring groups opened fire at the policemen, but had to run away when the police team responded with superior fire power,” she said.
Opalola said many of the cult members who sustained machete cuts and other forms of injuries were in various hospitals in Osogbo, receiving treatment.
She assured that the command would arrest and prosecute the fleeing cult members to make the state safe.
