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.
