For someone who leaves their home at dawn and returns at dusk without hassles, peace is the least thing they bother about. But to residents of communities in Ikorodu, Lagos State, peace is the most precious thing they long for amid cult clashes that have become rampant in the area in recent times.
The lingering hostilities between two rival cult groups–Eiye and Aye confraternities–have claimed many lives with many innocent persons caught up in the mayhem. At least 14 persons, including an easygoing motorcyclist identified simply as Pastor, were reportedly feared killed in a series of clashes that started on Sunday and lasted for three days.
