Young men are losing their lives violently, due to cultism. Residents of Surulere Estate, Alagbado, in Lagos now live in fear after cult members invaded the area, hacking a prince and 2 others to death.
In what could be described as a supremacy battle in the area between Aiye and Eiye confraternity, eye witness account said the group that invaded the area last Tuesday night sang in celebration after hacking to death a young man, identified as the son of a traditional ruler in the area town.
Two persons were said to have been killed in the same area earlier.
The clash, which was said to have begun last Sunday, lasted through Wednesday, leaving 3 persons dead and several others injured.
A resident, who pleaded anonymity for fear of being attacked, narrated:
“At about 10:30pm, there were gunshots and we (landlords) came out. We heard the young man received a call and dashed out at that night to buy airtime. We heard that his guardian pleaded it was late but he insisted going out to get airtime saying the call was important. But unknown to him, the cultists ambushed him and shot at him twice.
“We heard the gun shots did not penetrate and he ran. But his assailants gave him a hot chase and hacked him severally on the head. We were told that his killers also broke the window of the house where they caught up with their opponent, warning the occupant: 'We have not come for you, don’t ever attempt to call the police'.
"We also heard that they celebrated the killing of the young man, singing: Uso uso, uso! ….‘Muso, muso, muso. ….hey!! muso, muso, muso! ….hey!!! He was wearing a charm round his waist which perhaps prevented the gunshot from penetrating.”
