Two people have been reportedly killed by suspected cultists in a clash between members of the Eiye and Aye confraternity groups in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
It was gathered that the victims were killed in different parts of Abeokuta on Sunday when members of rival cult groups went on a rampage and engaged one another in bloody clashes.
Our correspondent reports that the killings occurred barely three weeks after a popular tout and a member of the Aye confraternity group, identified as Olumide Ifeoluwa, was shot dead by suspected members of the Eiye cult group.
The Sunday killing was in retaliation of the death of Ifeoluwa, it was learnt.
