‘I joined cultism to avenge my brother’s death’

A suspected killer, Ridwan Balogun, has told the police that he joined cultism to avenge murder of his elder brother six years ago by cult members. 

Balogun was arrested for stabbing 29-year-old Abiola Lateef to death during a birthday party in Mushin.
The suspect said he pounced on Lateef and stabbed him on his shoulder, neck, stomach and buttocks after someone fingered the deceased as part of those who murdered his elder brother. He said: “On that fateful day, one of the members of the Eiye group was celebrating his birthday.
I was invited to the party by a friend. When I got there, my friend pointed at Lateef. He told me that Lateef was among those who killed my brother, Azeez, six years ago. I immediately stood up from where I sat. I took a bottle, broke and stabbed him. “I don’t know what came over me that day. I had, however, been searching for all those who killed my brother in order to avenge his death.”
Detectives attached to the Lagos State Command arrested Balogun in connection with Lateef ’s murder. The suspect was alleged to be part of cult members who murdered Lateef at a birthday party at Mushin, Lagos.
