Cult violence in Nigeria
Overview
Recent reports indicate a rise in violent cult-related incidents across Nigeria, involving targeted killings and mutilations.
In Ogun State, a man named Seyi was killed at Ijako Market after being mistaken for a member of a rival group during an attack by suspected cultists. The incident, which reportedly involved both gunfire and an axe, is believed by authorities to be linked to the drug trade.
In Lagos State, a man identified as Biola was killed in the Ajah area. Evidence suggests the victim may have been lured into a trap by individuals posing as members of his own group, the Eiye confraternity. The victim sustained gunshot wounds and was subjected to mutilation before the attackers fled. Local police are investigating these incidents as part of ongoing cult violence along the Ajah–Lekki corridor.
