A 22-year-old man, Abdulmalik Bakare, and two other persons have been reportedly killed by suspected cultists who invaded the Oreta community in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
The father of the deceased, Tunde Bakare, said in an interview with PUNCH Metro on Sunday that the incident occurred on Wednesday.
According to him, six suspects have been arrested in connection with the case.
He said, “The Divisional Police Officer said he would ensure that the case is thoroughly investigated.”
When our correspondent visited the community on Sunday, an eerie calm hung over the area.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the attack followed an incident that occurred earlier in the day involving a trailer driver and some suspected hoodlums at Gbogbo Road.
A resident, identified simply as Fasasi, told our correspondent that the violence erupted around 8pm when armed men stormed the community on motorcycles and opened fire on residents.
