Two members of rival cults lost their lives in clashes at the Okelele area of Ilorin, Kwara State, between Sunday and Tuesday.
As a result of the clashes, fear has gripped the residents of Okelele and the adjoining communities following reprisals launched by the groups.
On Tuesday, residents claimed that there were similar attacks in the Kankatu and Isale-Odo areas of the Okelele community, which resulted in the death of another victim. It was gathered that members of the group that struck on Sunday broke an earlier agreement between the two sides that they should cease hostilities during the Ramadan.
