A
notorious cult member, identified as Tunde Lawal, was reportedly shot
in the chest during a clash with rival groups after he and another cult
member identified as Para Alabi had accosted and raped a 5-month
pregnant woman.
Lawal,
23 was reported to be a member of the Eiye cult group terrorising the
community and reportedly met his death in the evening of Tuesday,
September 3, 2013.
The
duo reportedly left the woman unconscious at the scene of the rape
before finding their way to where Lawal met his death. It was reported
that barely an hour after Lawal and his partner-in-crime arrived at a
beer pub, about 12 members of a rival cult group arrived in a big bus.
They
headed straight for the place where the Eye group was seated. Almost
immediately a heated argument ensued among them and members of the two
groups reportedly started firing into the air as if to scare the other
group and when Lawal wanted to engage the leader of the opposing group
in the fight, he was shot twice in his chest.
He
immediately slumped and died, lying in the pool of his blood. About six
other members of the two groups were severely wounded before others
took to their heels.
According
to the community leader, “That boy (Lawal) and his gang are thorn in
the flesh of everyone of us in this area. The most annoying aspect of it
is that we heard that the parents of most of these bad boys live close
to us here, but they could not call their sons to order”.
A
police source at Alade Police Station claimed that some relatives of
Lawal came to the station to demand for documents to enable them collect
his remains from the mortuary, which they were immediately issued.Facebook Comments Plugin Enhanced by Trendy Naija
