Operatives of the Zonal Intervention Squad of the Zone 2
Command, Onikan, Lagos, have arrested two suspected
members of Aiye confraternity, in connection with a crisis
that tore the group apart three months ago in Ogun State,
during which its leader was hacked to death.
The suspects, according to police, were also involved in
the fight between Eiye rival cult group in Otta and Ifo
areas of Ogun State, during which over 20 lives were lost.
The suspects, Sheriff Afeeri and Owoseni Wasiu,
according to the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer,
Muyiwa Adejobi, were arrested a fortnight ago, at Agosi
area of Ifo, Ogun State, while planning attacks.
Recovered from the suspects was an axe bearing the
logo of Aiye confraternity, among other items.
Speaking with Vanguard, one of the suspects Owoseni
Wasiu, popularly known as Olore, said that their leader,
whose identity he gave simply as Niyi, was hacked to
death following moves by some members to forcefully
oust him from of office.
Late Niyi, it was gathered, was processing his admission
into Lagos State Polytechnic.
Wasiu, who admitted to have been among those that
fought the same day, said he was not responsible for
Niyi’s death.
He explained that there was an earlier fight between
factions of the group, during which late Niyi’s faction,
described as the elders’ group, was overpowered.
Irked by the affront, late Niyi and his loyalists were said
to have stormed Western City Street in Ifo, Ogun State,
where Wasiu’s group, which was described as youth
group, was having a meeting.
The youth group, said to have got wind of the coming
attack, ambushed members of the elders’ group, forcing
them to take to their heels.
Explaining how Niyi was killed, 26-year-old Wasiu said:
“I did not kill Niyi, Akube and Heritage did. They hacked
him to death with an axe. It was Niyi’s group that came
to attack us.”
On his part, Sheriff Afeeri also claimed he had no hand in
Niyi’s death. He said he was on hospital bed when the
incident occurred.
The Ordinary National Diploma holder in Insurance from
the Polytechnic of Ibadan, said: “Late Niyi was our
leader. New members, referred to as youths, alleged that
he was lavishing the confraternity’s money and told him
to leave for another person to take over, but he refused.
“This led to the clash between the elders and the youth
group.”
