A yet to be identified man was allegedly buried alive by some cult members in the Mushin area of Lagos state on Wednesday September 2nd. According to Punch, the young man was on his way to Oyingbo area of Lagos state when he was dragged down from a commercial bus at Total Busstop in Mushin. An eyewitness Jacobs Amos while giving an account of what happened said

"The man was in the bus when he was dragged out at Total bus stop. They brought him into Mushin and I immediately alerted the policemen from Alakara.
The police went to Adewusi Street, and searched the place for more than one hour, but they did not find anything. They patrolled the place and when they did not see anything, they left. Around 10pm when everybody had gone home, they brought the man to the Railway Line and push him from head down into a filled canal. Only his leg was sticking out.”he said

The police at Alakara police station were alerted and the body of the deceased was removed from the canal yesterday September 3rd. Residents of the area say the rival cult members in Oyingbo and Mushin have led to the death of a few people.

According to one of them who spoke on the condition of anonymity, one person was stabbed to death by rival cult group. They accuse the police in the area of being complicit in the matter

"The police in this area have been compromised. When we called them yesterday that someone had been captured around Oyewusi Street, an informant of the cultists whom we suspect work with the police, quickly alerted the guys and they left the place. They brought the victim to our side to make it look as if we are responsible for his death. Their plan is to set the Oyingbo boys against us and trigger a war.”one of them said
