The  Ibagun/Okelele community, Ilorin, in the Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara State, on Tuesday, summoned an emergency meeting over cult attacks in the area in the last two days which led to the killing of three people.

It was gathered that the killing spree started around 8pm on Monday when one AbdulGaniy, aka Messi, was gunned down.

On Tuesday, some persons believed to be the deceased’s gang members reportedly killed one Adebayo Yitta, at his Aso Oke weaving centre.
