Panic as beheaded body found in Lagos
Tension gripped the Idimu area of Lagos State on Sunday after residents discovered the bodies of two men, one of which was beheaded.
Ekwutosblog learnt that the killings occurred late Saturday night, but the corpses were only discovered on Sunday morning along Oladun Road.
When our correspondent visited the scene, the lifeless bodies were still lying several meters apart.
This also drew the attention of stunned residents and passersby who gathered around the bodies.
A resident Lanre Ajao who spoke to Ekwutosblog identified one of the deceased as Baba Oja.
He said, “We woke up to see their lifeless bodies on the road this morning. We cannot immediately identify the one with a severed head but the other person is Baba Oja. He is very popular in this area.
“He was also known to always mingle with some boys who ran after flashy cars to collect money from the drivers around the Council bus stop. We still saw him yesterday controlling the traffic for some of the flashy cars.”
Another resident, Jamiu Raji, told Ekwutosblog that the nature of the killings indicated cult violence.
“We found out that the incident was not just a fight. It is related to a cult attack because of the way the two of them were killed. However, incidents like this are not common in this area. That is why people were shocked to see this,” he said.
It was further gathered that the corpses remained at the scene for nearly 10 hours before police operatives eventually arrived.
The second corpse was later identified as that of another resident in the community whose name our correspondent could not ascertain as of press time.
Another resident who did not want his name in print for security reasons said the families of the deceased victims were made to part away with money before they could allow them to take the corpses away.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, could not be reached as calls made to his phone were not responded to. A text message sent to him had yet to be responded to as of the time this report was filed.
Ekwutosblog reported that no fewer than three persons were killed in separate cult clashes in the Mushin area of Lagos State and the Lantoro area of Abeokuta, Ogun State capital in February.
The cult clashes stemmed from renewed disputes between members of the Aiye Confraternity and the Eiye Confraternity.

Incredible moment hero bystander tackles Bondi Beach gunman and turns gun on him after mass shooting during Jewish party in Australia
A dramatic video has captured the moment a brave bystander disarmed one of the gunmen involved in the deadly Bondi Beach shooting on Sunday, December 14, preventing further bloodshed as chaos unfolded along the crowded shoreline.
The footage shows a man wearing a white T-shirt calmly approaching an armed attacker from behind as the suspect raises his weapon. In a swift move, the bystander grabs the gun, and after a brief struggle, successfully pulls it away from the shooter.
As the assailant falls to the ground, the civilian briefly points the weapon in his direction but does not fire. The gunman then staggers away, while the bystander places the firearm against a nearby tree before stepping back. Moments later, the camera pans to a second gunman, who appears visibly shaken by the sudden turn of events.
The courageous intervention came amid a violent attack in which two gunmen opened fire on beachgoers during a crowded evening at Bondi Beach. Gunshots echoed across the area, triggering panic as hundreds of people fled the sand and surrounding streets.
Police later confirmed that at least 10 people, including one of the attackers, were k!lled in the shooting. The second suspect was taken into custody. Authorities also said at least 12 others were injured, among them two police officers who were shot during the incident.
Witnesses told local media that the attackers exited a vehicle on Campbell Parade near the Bondi Pavilion at about 6:40pm before opening fire. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, with dozens of ambulances and helicopter paramedics deployed to assist victims. Paramedics treated multiple casualties on site, while others were transported to nearby hospitals.
One mother described scenes of terror as panic broke out while her daughters were at the beach with friends. Videos circulating online show large crowds running for safety as gunfire rang out.
