Two persons have been reportedly killed by suspected cultists in the ongoing war between members of the Eiye and Aye confraternity groups in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The victims were killed in different parts of Abeokuta on Sunday when members of the rival cult groups went on rampage and engaged one another in bloody clash.
This is coming barely three weeks after popular area boy and a member of the Aye confraternity group, identified as Olumide Ifeoluwa was shot dead by suspected members of Eiye cult group.
