It was gathered that the deceased was killed in a bloody clash between two cult groups at the weekend.
Mr Gabriel Akinsiku, father of the deceased Seun, said some persons suspected to be cultists forced him out of the house and shot him.
He wondered why his son was killed after he had turned over a new leaf and swore to the gods of the land in Osemawe’s palace.
He appealed to the police to ensure that the culprits were dealt with according to the law.
