Tension As Rival Group Beheads Top Cult Gang Leader In Lagos

Meanwhile, a suspected notorious cult gang leader, identified as Shulee, has been found headless in Lagos.

Naija News gathered that the development has caused tension around the Ojo area of Lagos State after findings revealed that Shulee was killed by a rival group in the area at the weekend.

The deceased was said to be the number two man of the Eiye confraternity in the area, and there are fears that his group might launch a reprisal.

According to Daily Trust, residents of the Ojo Area alleged that the head of the deceased was sent to the camp of Eiye as a sign of the rivals stamping their authority in the area.

A resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of being tracked said: “Shulee is the number two man of Eiye in Ojo. His activities had been notorious. He did not look back when killing rival gang members. He was feared in the entire Ojo, Okomaiko and Ajangbadi areas.

“There has been tension in the entire Ojo since his death was announced. The leaders of the Alaba International Market have advised traders not to stay outside late.”

The publication quoted another source to have alleged that the deceased was tracked down to an area around Alaba Rago and that he was eventually killed around the PPL bus stop.

Naija News learnt that since the news of Shulee’s brutal killing, several notices have been spread across social media platforms warning residents not to stay outside their houses late.

However, the Lagos State police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, when contacted by the media platform, said, “I am not aware of any such killing, and there is no tension anywhere in the state.”
