IKOSI, Lagos – At least one person has been arrested following alleged attack by the Badoo cult group in Ikosi-Ejirin, Lagos.





The cult group reportedly struck at a white garmet church in the area on Tuesday, killing a mother and two children while they were fast asleep.

The attack according to sources bore the hallmarks of Badoo, as the assailants who were said to have jumped over the fence, left the scene with the pestle after smashing the victims on the head.
Reacting to the development, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal said investigation has commenced over. Edgal noted that the third person that was attacked has been discharged from the hospital.

It was learnt that the incident happened at Temu community around 2.am, when the assailants scaled through the fence of the victims and the victims were killed.

The victims’ name were given as Iyabo, (mother), David 4, and Rachael, 8year-old were said to have been killed by their neighbours. The victims who were said to be member of a Celestial Church of Christ were allegedly killed in the church, when the victim’s husband was away.

“The family moved into the community six month ago, we were surprised when somebody came to call me that Mama David is a dead. When I got to the scene, the assailants had killed the woman and her two children who were with her in their apartment.

“I don’t know how the assailants got into the community, because we have security guard patrolling the community. How they entered into the victims’ compound without the guard knowing about it is a mystery to us,” a resident said.

The CP described the decelopment as a clear case of murder. “The landlady has been arrested and the okada rider has been arrested. One of the victim’s watched television throughout the night with one of the suspects in our custody. It has nothing to do with ritual killing as speculated”, he said.
