Graphic Shots Of The Notorious Gang Leader Killed By Cultist In Ilorin.

Palpable tension has enveloped Ilorin, the Kwara state

capital over the murder of a notorious cultist, Bayo Ajia

around noon today, Monday.

Ajia was one of the ring leaders of the Aiye Confraternity,

a notorious cult group that has grown in recent times.

An eye-witness, Alhaji Yekini Ishola, who operates a

commercial motor vehicle popularly known as Okada

around the area told Sahara Reportersnews that the

incidence happened at about 12:34pm on Monday at the

Car washing place of Mr. Ajia under the popular Stadium

Bridge along Taiwo Road, Ilorin.

Taiwo road, as popularly called, is Ilorin’s commercial

nerve centre. Ajia was said to have been killed in cold

blood helplessly by an alleged rival cult group whose

identity is yet to be determined as at press time.

He was said to have been shot at severally by his

assailants. When it seemed that, that would not bring him

down, he was said to have been brutally hatched with

machetes.

Ilorin has witnessed a resurgence of cult-related violence

in the last four years.

The cult groups and their affiliates receded during the

tenure of former Governor and now Senate President

Bukola Saraki due to stringent laws criminalizing the

secret groups and an enhanced policing.

With Ajia’s killing, the relative peace being enjoyed in

Ilorin is now effectively shattered as Ajia’s cult members

and others would swing into full force in avenging the

killing of one of their big guns.
