Three
suspected cult members have been remanded at the Ikoyi Prison for
allegedly killing a 30-year-old man, Seyi Jimoh, and inflicting injuries
on his ten-month-old baby with cutlass.
The three defendants – Emmanuel Samson,
Tunji Olanrewaju and Joshua Ogunnusi- were said to have committed the
offence at the Alapere area of Lagos.
The police said the trio belonged to an
unlawful society named K-man cult and had perpetrated the crime in
September 2013 before they were caught.
It is however not clear why the late Jimoh and his daughter were attacked by the men at their residence.
The suspects were arraigned before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court for murder and assault.
The charge read in part, “That you,
Emmanuel Samson, Tunji Olanrewaju, Joshua Ogunnusi and others at large
on the 8th of September, 2013 at about 3am, at Akainimodu area of
Alapere, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully kill
one Seyi Jimoh, aged 30, by cutting him with cutlass.”
The prosecutor, Cousin Adam, said the
offences were punishable under Sections 409, 221, 171 and 42 of the
Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.
