The peace that had existed in the ancient town of Ilorin, Kwara State, was at the weekend shattered when four persons were killed in the Kwara State capital.<\/p>\n

Fight reportedly broke out between members of two rival cult groups over supremacy claim.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Sunday last week, suspected members of cult groups struck at Ikokoro\/Sakamo area of the city and the clash resulted to the death of a boy identified as Wasiu.<\/p>\n

The latest clash among the cult groups was recorded at Babaoko, Ita-Amodu and Agbo-Oba areas of the metropolis between Saturday night and 4 a.m. on Sunday, brewing tension in the areas as residents scampered for safety.<\/p>\n

According to an eye witness on Sunday, at the end of the clash, four persons including a 20- year-old man were allegedly shot.<\/p>\n

The anonymous witness said that, members of \u201cAiye\u201d Confraternity first struck at Babaoko around 9.30 p.m.\u00a0 Saturday night and two lives were allegedly lost.<\/p>

The aggrieved suspects however left Baboko for Ita-Amodu and Agbo-0ba areas of the capital on revenge mission.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson of the state police command, Ajayi Okasanmi confirmed the incident, and one death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confirm to you that one person has been killed by the suspected cultists and this happened at Babaoko area of Ilorin.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen of the state police command have taken his corpse to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Okasanmi however warned cultists to stay away from the state, promising that anyone caught would be made to face the full wrath of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
