Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Osun State Police Command has confirmed the death of one in a violent clash between two rival cult groups at the Oke Ola, Osogbo the state capital.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Command, Abiodun Ojelabi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), stated that the crisis was brought under control following the swift intervention of police operatives.

The clash reportedly broke out when suspected members of a cult group, who were part of a masquerade procession, allegedly encroached on the territory of a rival group.

It was gathered that the confrontation escalated into a gun battle, during which one person was shot in the head and died on the spot.

Ojelabi further confirmed that a special tactical squad, along with other armed personnel, had been deployed to the area to prevent further escalation.

“It was the police team that went to the scene of the incident that restored normalcy in the area,” Ojelabi said.

Police added that armed security officers had been deployed to maintain supervision in the area while investigations were ongoing.

“At the moment, we are on the trail of the culprits (the cult members), and they will be made to face the law when arrested,” Ojelabi stated.

The police spokesperson urged residents to promptly report any breach of the law or suspicious activity to security agencies.
