It was further learnt that the cultists last week were noticed to be preparing for the clash.
According to a source, the sporadic shooting started last night around the Idi-aba area, popularly known as a hideout for notorious cultists and a major base of drug dealers.
“It spread towards Akilo, sungas, and inwards Olorunkemi Street in the Shomolu area, where innocent passersby sustained varying degrees of injury. Residents are calling on the commissioner of police, Idowu Owohunwa, to come to their rescue,” stated the source.
