The renewed clash between rival cult groups in some areas at Ilesa, Osun State, has reportedly left 10 people dead. Mr Busuyi Agunbiade, a resident of the area, told NAN that the clash started from Irojo, around 7p.m. ”About 10 people were killed in different areas of the town, majorly cult members,” he said. Reacting to the suspected cultists’ clash that claimed lives, the Owa Obokun of Ijesa land, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, condemned cult group killing in Ijesaland. Osun Police Command Spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, who confirmed the killings, however, said only five persons were killed in the cult war.
