A member of a cult group, the Neo Black Movement, also known as the Aiye Confraternity, identified as Emmanuel, has confessed to his involvement in the alleged killing of a man who was not a member of their cult.
Emmanuel, according to report published by KAKAKI OKEOGUN NEWS on Saturday June 6, 2026, was arrested during a police operation targeting cult-related violence in parts of the Ojo area of Lagos State, including Ishashi, Shibiri, Ajangbadi, and Ilogbo, where authorities have been intensifying efforts to address rising cases of cult clashes.
During interrogation, Emmanuel stated that he and three others lured the victim to a location under the pretence of buying hard drugs. He said the victim arrived at the agreed spot before he was attacked and killed.
According to Emmanuel,
“The first person we killed was Soweto, a member of the Eiye Confraternity, who also had a gun. We lured him to a place after we lied to him that we wanted to buy hard drugs. He was into the hard-drug business. Four of us — Emma, Paragon, Santa and myself — went for the operation to kill Soweto. I was the one recording the killing.”
