Suspected cultists have reportedly killed five persons in different areas of Igbo-Elerin, Lagos State.
According to the Vanguard, the cultists allegedly went on rampage after a rival gang over the weekend, shot their leader, simply identified as Skay, at Aladesanmi Street at 8:00pm last Thursday.
Angered by the death of their leader, members of the gang on Friday at about 7:00am, stormed a house located at Martins street where they dragged a member of a rival cult gang out of his house and slaughtered him in front of his gate.
They also killed a suspected cultist at Idowu Street.
It was gathered that on Friday night, cultists raided several relaxation centres searching for members of a rival gang.
According to a food vendor who resides around Martins street, it was a terrible situation on Friday morning when hoodlums stormed the street and killed a boy.
Another resident in Idowu Street who craved anonymity, said: "The incident started at about 8pm on Thursday evening when I closed my shop. I noticed that every where had been deserted. It was as if people had ran away. There were no okada or commercial buses plying the road.
So on Friday morning, I heard that the leader of a cult gang had been killed. I had to close on Friday when they were still shooting sporadically, people were running helter skelter for safety."
There is no official statement yet from the Lagos state Police Command.
