Police Launch Probe As Cultists Kill Victim During The Robbery, Cut Off Arm

Some gunmen have shot dead a 27-year-old man, Olayiwola Adebari, and dispossessed his neighbors of their mobile phones in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Our correspondent gathered that the hoodlums invaded the victims’ residence on Tinubu Street, Oke-Sokori, Abeokuta around 1:30 am on Sunday.

An eyewitness, who asked not to be identified, told our correspondent that the four gunmen entered all the rooms in the house and dispossessed tenants of their phones.

“Until they finally entered Olayiwola Adebari’s room and shot him dead. I think they are cultists,” he added.

It was learned that the assailants cut off Adebari’s left arm and took it away, an act many said was common among cultists.
