A man identified as Taiwo Saheed was allegedly murdered by suspected cultists in the Atan area of Ogun State, with footage of the killing circulating on social media.
OWUTU ONLINE learnt from eyewitness accounts and a video of the incident on Monday that the killing, which occurred on Thursday, was suspected to have been carried out by members of the outlawed Eiye Confraternity in an alleged reprisal attack.
The disturbing footage showed Saheed lying in a pool of blood as one of the assailants repeatedly struck him with what appeared to be a machete before severing his head from his body.
Other members of the group were seen hailing and ululating as the attack continued.
Confirming the incident in an exclusive response to an inquiry by our correspondent on Monday, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Babaseyi Oluseyi, said investigations were being intensified to apprehend those responsible.
He said, “The Ogun State Police Command is intensifying investigations into the murder of Taiwo Saheed in Igbo Olomi, Atan-Ota, on 15 October 2026.
“Proactive efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend the perpetrators, unravel the circumstances of the incident, and ensure justice is served.”
