‘Anarchy’ killed in gun duel with police

Policemen in Lagos State have killed one of the most notorious cultists, operating in the Bariga area of Lagos State.

The cult member, nicknamed, anarchy, was said to have been killed Tuesday at the Bariga during a gun duel with policemen.

According to the State’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, the Anarchy’s group was about to engage a rival group in supremacy when scared residents suddenly put a distress call across to the police.

Police raced down to the scene. On sighting the policemen, Anarchy and some members of his group, rather than take to their heels, engaged the policemen in a gun battle.

Owoseni said: “Anarchy had been on police wanted list for long. Police responded to a distress call at Bariga. Anarchy engaged policemen in a shootout. One of the cultists was arrested and weapon recovered. Anarchy however suffered bullet injury and died on the way to the hospital.”
