Fatal Cult Clash in Kwara: 1 Dead, Several Cars Destroyed
In a chilling showdown that rocked the serene streets of Pakata in Ilọrin West LGA of Kwara State, the simmering feud between rival cult groups erupted into a deadly clash, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
Tragedy struck when Abiodun, a suspected cultist with a penchant for violence, unleashed a hail of bullets, claiming the life of Yusuf, a member of a rival faction. The victim, Yusuf, recently embarked on the journey of marriage, leaving behind a heavily pregnant wife now plunged into mourning.
With Abiodun now a fugitive, tensions soared as Yusuf’s allies sought vengeance, launching a relentless assault on Abiodun’s home turf at Gana compound, Pakata. Armed to the teeth with guns and machetes, the retaliation descended into chaos, leaving over six vehicles ravaged and numerous individuals gravely injured.
Eyewitnesses recount scenes of terror as gunfire echoed through the neighborhood, sending panicked residents fleeing for safety.
