Two members of the popular cult, Eiye have been arrested for allegedly killing five people around Alaba Market, Ojo, Lagos.
Ola Jimoh Sodiq, 28, and Ibrahim Oshilemo, 27, both from of Lagos State were arrested in their hideout in Sabo Ajangbadi area of Iba Local Government Area of Lagos by officers from the Lagos state police command, special anti-robbery squad, SARS.
The suspects were captured after an Investigation was launched into the murder of five people by masked men around Alaba Market, Ojo. They revealed that they were paid to carry out the killings on behalf of some people in the market.Sodiq, who is married and has three kids, said he used to mask his face during operations because most of his engagements are usually around his area so he needed to cover his face so that people would not recognise him.
“I cover my face during operations because I don’t want people to recognise me. I got the mask when I was off-loading a container at Alaba International Market. We make use of locally made guns, which I bury around our compound whenever we don’t have operations.”
He added: “I regret my actions, because the Eiye Cult which a friend initiated me into has ruined my life.”
Ibrahim Oshilemo on his part said, he is a secondary school dropout and resides at 10, Shonibare Street, Iba Town.He claimed to have been forced to join the cult group while he was repairing handsets. Items recovered from them after their homes were searched include seven locally made cut to size double barrel guns, two masks, five live cartridges, charms among other things.
