No fewer than five persons have been killed in Ilesa, Osun State following a deadly cult clash that erupted between two rival cultists in the ancient town on Saturday.
The incident which enveloped the community in the early hours of the day at Sabo in the town, claimed lives of two members of the groups and three other innocent citizens of the state.
A source disclosed that the killings, which occurred on Monday, were a reprisal attack for the killing which occurred in Odogbo-Ijesa on Saturday.
He also stated that as a result of the clash, residents of the affected areas have been living in palpable fear.
All efforts to speak with the police on the incident were unsuccessful as the Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, was not available for comment.
However, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun Command Public Relations Officer, Atanda Olabisi told DAILY POST that law enforcement agents were on top of the situation and peace has been restored to the areas affected.
A man called Job Akinola was killed by some persons suspected to be cultists on Saturday during the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial primary election in Ward 6, Odogbo-Ijesa, Atakunmosa East Local Government Area of the state.
