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 molested 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.
