Harvest of deaths in Ilorin
Palpable fear has descended on Ilorin, capital of Kwara State in the
last three days following resurgence of blood letting and harvest of
deaths occasioned by activities of blood thirsty cultists. City Rove
Editor, Ahmed 'Lateef, writes on the threat to security of lives and
property of residents of the ancient city
The renewed hostility between rival cultists in the ancient city of
Ilorin had assumed an alarming dimension in the last few days. For the
five days running, purveyors of death had been on the prowl hacking
down those believed to have been marked for execution.
With the heartless killing accompanied by sporadic shooting by
gun-wielding dreaded executors, anxiety had gripped residents of the
city who now live in a state of uncertainty.
The brutal killing, which appeared like harvest of deaths had sent
jitters down the spine of not only the relative of the victims but
also those resident in their neighbourhood in anticipation of
consequence of the murderous adventure.
There is no doubt that the elimination bore the mark of warring
cultists, cognizant of the commando style the eliminators arrived the
scenes or spots designated to hack down the next victims.
On Sunday, residents of Sakama/Ikokoro axis off Niger Road, Ilorin
were flabbergasted with their eyes saw. In what akin to a theatre of
war, suspected cultists numbering about four stormed the area fully
armed with guns and other dangerous weapons.
The men of the underworld were said to have in the last eight years
waiting to eliminate Wasiu Idris following a renew rivalry,which sent
some unidentified cult members to the eternal journey.
It was gathered that the hoodlums arrived the area around 3:10pm after
they had succeeded in trailing the victim.
A source in the know told The Herald that the executors trailed Wasiu,
nicknamed Adanri to a storey building in the area where he was sitting
beside a man whose identity could not be immediately ascertained.
They were said to have ordered the man to quickly vacate the seat to
enable them carry out the blood letting operation.
A brief dialogue was said to have ensued before the victim was gunned down.
The Herald gathered that Wasiu was shot in the upper region where the
bullet plucked his eyes. The killers were said to have tarry awhile
after the sporadic gun battle to confirm that the victim breath his
last.
After confirming that the victim was breathing no more, the gunmen,
one of them allegedly wearing a mask, were said to be moving freely
heading towards Edun area, asking distraught residents and shop owners
who initially scampered for safety not to panic as they reportedly
said "it was a mission accomplished".
The victim, said to be in his 30s, had fled the country some years ago
to avoid the trigger happy killers mowing down, but only returned some
months ago, on the instruction of some powerful forces, who our source
refused to disclose.
Adanri allegedly belonged to Aiye confraternity while those who
carried out the killing were said to be members of a rival Eiye dread
group.
Our correspondent was reliably informed that the shooting spree, which
lasted about 20 minutes, compelled motorists and motorcycles plying
the area to detour and opted for escape route.which sent some
