15 people reportedly killed in Ogun cult clashes
At least 15 persons have been reportedly killed during clashes by rival cult groups in Ogun State.
Eyewitnesses told journalists on Monday the problem started last week following the murder of a popular area boy known as “Tommy” at the Panseke bus stop in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Tommy, who was a member of Eiye Confraternity, was reportedly killed by members of the Aiye group.
