Three persons have been killed in a renewed clash between members of the Aiye and Eiye cult groups in Owo Town, the headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
It was gathered that they were shot dead at different locations in Owo on Tuesday night, May 10, 2023.
The bodies of the victims were reportedly carted away by their assailants.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Ondo State, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, confirmed the cult clash on Wednesday.
She said men of the “Anti-cultism’ unit had already been deployed in the city to restore order and fish out the perpetrators.
“The police are currently on patrol within Owo but no one is ready to report or even assist us with information,” she added.
The Commandant of the Amotekun Corps in Ondo State, Adetunji Adeleye, who also confirmed the incident, said the situation had been brought under control.
“Yes, we are aware of this but our men and other security agents are already out there to arrest the culprits,” Adeleye added.
