Jitters went through the spines of Ondo State residents as
two persons were shot dead in a gun duel that ensued between two rival cult
groups during a carnival, which later turned bloody in Ondo West Local Council
of the state.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Monday evening at the carnival
organised by youths of Kogbona Street in the ancient Ondo City, where
trigger-happy cultists had a feast day shooting innocent people.
This led to the untimely death of a lady, who was identified
as Afunsat Ayodeji and one other dead victim, whose identity remained unknown;
and several other survivors who sustained various degrees of injuries and hence
hospitalized in the city.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Enuowa
Police Station, Mr. Kunle Omisakin, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP),
said two persons were arrested in connection with the assault and murder.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Femi
Joseph, disclosed the names of the suspects as Tosin Omosekeji, 29 and Tope
Akinpelumi, 28; though he claimed there was only one casualty.
