A 23-year-old suspected member of the Aiye Confraternity, Kazeem Tiamiyu, says his gang has killed no fewer than 15 persons in Ogun State since he joined in 2012.
He spoke on Monday while being paraded by the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, at the command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
He, however, added that he personally took part in “just five” murders since he joined the group.
Tiamiyu, aka Butcher, said the murder he took part in happened during reprisals on members of a rival group, the Eiye Confraternity.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the suspect was arrested on Oreagba Street, Ondo Road, in the Ijebu Ode area on Sunday, January 3, 2016, sequel to the command’s anti-cultism fight and investigation into various murder cases in the area.
The suspect, who also confessed that he had sold several guns to cult members in Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic, Ijebu Igbo, and Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, added that he also had buyers from Lagos.
He said, “I have participated in five operations, and they were against the Eiye Confraternity. In those five operations, five persons were killed. I joined the cult in 2012.”
Tiamiyu added that he dropped out of Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic when his parents stopped funding his education after they discovered that he was a cult member.
