Cult Members From Ilorin throw rival into Lagos lagoon
A suspected cult member identified as Ahmed Suleiman has been arrested and held in police custody for allegedly killing a man said to be a member of a rival gang.
27-year-old Suleiman connived with two others at large to throw the victim, whose name had yet to be ascertained, into a lagoon on Carter Bridge, Ebute Ero, Lagos State.
Punch reports that the suspects had trailed their target from Ilorin, Kwara State, to Lagos.
The three-man gang was said to have accosted the victim around 11.30am on Monday, tied his hands to the back and thrown him into the lagoon.
Some passengers on a yellow commercial bus, popularly called Danfo, saw the victim being hauled off towards the edge of the bridge and raised the alarm.
In a split second, the suspects executed their plan and fled the scene. A transport worker was said to have given them a chase and tracked down Suleiman.
The body had yet to be recovered from the lagoon as of 12pm on Wednesday.
A member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in the area, Nurudeen Olalekan, told Punch that the suspect initially told them that the act was to avenge the death of his child, who was allegedly killed by the victim.
Olalekan said,
“We saw all of them walking together towards the spot. The victim was in the middle, but we never knew they were going to kill him. Immediately some passengers shouted, they threw him into the lagoon and took to their heels.
