A member of the Aiye confraternity, John Gabriel, has
revealed how he sold his brother out to be killed by
members of his group during a reprisal attack, in the
Morogbo area of Lagos, seven years ago.
The 28-year-old suspect, a former tricycle operator was
arrested by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team,
IRT alongside two other suspected cultists: Godwin Ovie –
Ogbar, a suspected member of Vikings confraternity and
Olaleye Alashe, a suspected member of the Aiye cult
group.
During interrogation, the self-confessed cultist said that;
“My elder brother was killed by members of my cult
group, Aiye. My brother was a member of the Eiye
confraternity.
“In 2015, there was a clash between Alora and Aiye
confraternities. Somehow, Eiye got involved in the clash.
Two members of the Aiye cult group were killed then and
our people were looking for a way to retaliate Perere and
Ogar, who are members of the same cult group, called
me and asked me if I knew any Eiye members in my area.
I told them I didn’t know anyone except my brother who
lived in the same house with me”
” I didn’t know that they were planning to kill him. On the
day he was killed, I sat in front of our house at the
Checkpoint area of Morogbo, with my brother and one of
my friends, Michael Odili. A member of my group
(Aiye)FM, who is also my friend, called me to accompany
him to where they sell cooked noodles.
“ I was still there when I got the news that my brother had
been shot. Those responsible for his death were s Perere
and Ogar. I didn’t know that they would kill my brother.
Since then, I stopped relating with Perere and Ogar”.
The suspect and others arrested would be charged to
court, according to IRT sources.
