 The Auguste Police Command has confirmed one death in the cult clash that erupted in Shagamu, area of the state earlier today about seven persons were reportedly killed in Abe Okuta in the past one week as members of IAEA and IAEA confraternities engaged in a supremacy battle. The clash between the rival cult groups got to its peak following the gruesome murder of an area boy popularly known as Tommy in Oluwo Abe Okuta since the death of Tommy resident of Abe Okuta have been living in fear of possible escalation of the crisis. Though the police said 18 persons have been arrested, calm seems not to have been restored. We are now being joined by the police public relations officer of Auguste Police Commander Bimbola Oyeyemi to shed more light on happenings there. Mr. Oyeyemi. Good evening. Thanks for joining us on News Now. Thank you for having me. Now we do learn that heavy security has returned to Shagamu. Can you tell us now what the situation is? Does it mean that there's no calm yet in the town? We may see a battle between the three two rival cult groups in Shagamu area since yesterday which has left home to sit dead, but the situation has been brought under control. The command is doing everything possible to ensure that those food loans who are not allowed to go to Shagamu area are not allowed to go to Shagamu area, and the area commander Shagamu area command has been directed by the commissioner of police, Shifu Hila Ribancoli, to supervise the men that were deployed to that place. We have men of anti-fortress section, the SWAT, the anti-prisoners, as well as the commissioner of police in all the personal headquarters that we do up in Shagamu area command. We are the operation group coordinated by the area commander Shagamu area command as I can assure you now that the situation is under control and we are going after this group. We are going after the other group. Shifu has directed that the parties should be taken to the adversaries because some people cannot just be given people's rights to do whatever they think they want to do. We are an organization that is personally starting with the responsibility of protecting the flag and property. Now we're doing this. We will not allow all these supercultures. We understand that. We understand that the clash has started about a week or two now before it spread to Shagamu earlier today. And we are also told that communities surrounding communities around Shagamu, and other communities that have been invaded by these confraternities are leaving people there and living in fear. So what happened? Why did the clash continue to spread without police presence? If you know the distance between Shagamu and Adenputa, you know that it is a five-distan condition. There was a clash at Ulu area of Adenputa during the weekend and it is a shot of the people of, I think one of the leaders of one of these court groups, which eventually led to some kind of attempt to make a repressor attack, which has been seriously courted. And as I'm talking to you now, about 80 among these courtes have been arrested. I will not go to so far as that. They are going to be brought to court. We will not rest on our wards until the last of them is arrested. Enough is enough. And I'm appealing to the parents and guardians to call their children to order. Because these people, the adults here, they are the people living among us. And their fathers, their mothers, their guardians, they know them. They know where they are, they know where they are living. All right. Thank you, Mr. Oyeyemi. We do hope that KAM is totally restored to all of these communities affected already. I am not much as already been restored. Thank you. Thank you for joining us on the news.
