Cult-related activities in Ekiti and Osun states have put the two states into the limelight in recent times, perhaps for the wrong reason.
The first reported case of killing by the suspected cult members occurred on the 13th of January 2021 at about 8:30 pm at Iworoko-Ekiti, a community located at the outskirts of Ado-Ekiti, between members of Black Axe and Eiye confraternity where two members of the suspected cult groups were killed.
They lost their lives in a free-for-all-clash that lasted for about two hours.
A week later, the Ekiti State Police Command paraded five members of the suspected cult groups claimed to have been arrested in connection with the clash, they were later arraigned in the court.
