Tension as bread seller, five others die in Osun cult clash

Fear has gripped two Osun communities after six people were killed within two days in clashes between two rival cult groups.

The deaths resulted from attacks and reprisal attacks by members of the Eiye confraternity and Aye group in Ilesa and Osu communities of the state.

Some members of the Aye group had reportedly killed a bread seller named Oluwaseun Igwe at Ifofin in Ilesa and later killed two other persons in the community.
