CULT CLASH! Eiye confraternity leader cudgelled to death after bullets failed to penetrate his body in Ondo
A man, believed to be the leader of the Eiye confraternity in an area in Ondo state, has been beaten to death after bullets failed to penetrate his body.
Reports said a recent clash between rival cult groups in Ondo has, so far, claimed two people.
It was gathered that one of the deceased, identified as Olaleye Isiaka, was said to be the leader of Eiye confraternity in the town.
According to Daily Sun, Olaleye had gone to a motor park in the town, where a clash broke out between another group called Aye confraternity.
It was learnt that while they were in the area, a group of boys suddenly emerged and shot sporadically, a development which made people around the area scamper for safety.
The late Olaleye was said to have made frantic effort to escape from the scene after several gunshots fired at him did not penetrate his body.
He was said to have been attacked with cudgels before he died.
Also, a yet-to-be-identified person was found dead at the scene of the incident.
The incident has, however, caused serious pandemonium in the town, as some youths staged a demonstration to protest the killing of the two suspected cult leaders.
The protesters, who blocked major roads in the town, also prevented commercial and social activities from taken place in the affected areas.
To this end, security has been beefed up in strategic locations in the town, to forestall possible reprisal from some groups of people who are said to be planning to avenge the death of the victims.
