There was pandemonium Friday on the Lafenwa-Ayetoro road axis of Abeokuta, Ogun State Capital, as secondary school students engaged in a cult clash cult, forcing many residents and passerby to run helter-skelter for their lives, following the use of dangerous weapons by the cultists.

AfricanOutlookonline gathered that, the clash broke out between students of Lafenwa High School and Premier Grammar School, shortly after the end of the West African School Certificate Examination, (WASCE), as the alleged cultist engaged themselves in supremacy tussle. The schools located in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the State are a stone's throw away from each other.

The Ogun State Vigilante Service, however, arrested nine suspects which include six artisans alleged to have been contracted by the cultists to participate in the cult clash. The suspects destroyed patrol vehicle of the Vigilante Service in an attempt to escape arrest. They were caught with dangerous weapons such as charms locally made chisels, and marijuana among others.

The arrested suspects include; Taiwo Ibukun (18) of Lafenwa High School, Adegbesan Yusuf (19) Premier Grammar School, Ojuh Kingsley (19) Premier Grammar School, Emmanuel Oladipupo (21) who is a local tyre technician locally known as vulcanizer, Abiodun Sodiq (16), autobody shop artisan locally known as panel beater, Idowu Shakiru (20) vulcanizer, Ademola Isikilu (17) Tailor, Quadri Sobowale (20) vulcanizer and Surak Aliu (20) a painter.

During a visit to the headquarters of Vigilante Service, at about 4.00pm local time, the suspects were seen being interrogated, while arrangements were ongoing to transfer them with the exhibits to the police.

When contacted, Public Relations Officer of the Vigilante Services, Soji Ganzalo confirmed the incident, explaining that the men of the command raced to the scene, following a distress call received from the schools' managements. He said the suspects on sighting the men of the Vigilante Services, launched an attack, destroying the patrol van of the command, but were overpowered leading to the arrest of the nine suspects, who were in the command custody as at the time of our correspondent visit.

Ganzallo disclosed to newsmen that the suspects would be transferred to the police before the end of the day, adding that, a number of dangerous weapons and drugs which include; Indian hemp, charms, alcohol and locally made chisels were recovered from them.

Hear him: "Yes, there was a clash between the students, and we received distress calls and raced to the scene, and our men were able to arrest nine of the suspects. We are already making arrangement to transfer them to the police. The suspects even attacked our men, destroying our patrol vehicle."

The Command spokesman, however, appealed to parents and guardians on the need for proper and adequate monitoring of their children and wards, observing that, such cult clash occurred mostly while the West Africa School Certificate (WASC) examination is rounding off.
