Five
people were shot dead on February 1st following a clash between two
rival cult groups, the Eiye Confraternity and the Buccaneers, at the
Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The
two cult groups comprised students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic,
MAPOLY, formerly Ogun State Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, southwest
Nigeria.
The
bone of contention we gathered from a reliably , was that a member of
Buccaneers was allegedly killed by the Eiye Confraternity.
The
Buccaneers in their bid to avenge the death of their member, stormed
Onikolobo area of the state, adjudged to be the stronghold of the Eiye
Confraternity and engaged them in a gun duel.
Sources
told us on Thursday that the gun fight which lasted for hours at the
Onikolobo area of the town, left five people dead after it ended.
The area has now been deserted as students and indigenes are scared of more reprisal attacks.
All
efforts to speak with the school’s Public Relations Officer proved
abortive as his call was not going through as at the time of filing this
report.
The State Police Command PRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident and said they have restored normalcy in the area.
