    A violent clash between rival cult groups in Lagos has claimed the life of one person with two others severely injured and currently hospitalised.

    This was confirmed in a statement issued on Sunday by the Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi.

    According to the statement, the incident occurred on Saturday at the Onireke and Isashi areas of the state.

    In the wake of the attack, tactical operatives of the command were reportedly deployed to the areas, preventing further attacks with normalcy restored to the area.

    The operatives rescued three victims at the scene of the clash and rushed them to the hospital for urgent medical attention.
    Unfortunately, one of the victims was later confirmed dead by the doctor on duty at Badagry General Hospital.

    An immediate raid of the entire area by the joint police team comprising the conventional police team, the tactical squad units, and other detectives led to the arrest of five of suspects allegedly responsible for the attack and death of the victim at a hotel in the locality.

    The arrested five suspected cultists were identified as 43-year-old Victor Christian; Samuel Success, 29; Balogun Emmanuel, 43; Wisdom Chukwuemeka, 28; and Oche Job, 39.

    According to the statement, a thorough search of the premises and the operational vehicle of the arrested cultists led to the recovery of firearms, ammunition, and other dangerous weapons used in cult clashes.
    Exhibits recovered include one locally-made pistol, two pump-action guns, 52 live cartridges, two expended cartridges, one Toyota Avalon with registration number KTU 610 JB, one HP laptop, one computer mouse, one car key, and one cutlass.
    Others include one Federal Republic of Nigeria International Passport bearing the name Ekomafe Gregory Dickson, two Samsung Android phones, two iPhones, one additional Android phone, and one small Nokia phone.

    All recovered items have been properly documented and registered as exhibits for ongoing

    investigation.
    The five suspects are currently detained in police custody and will be charged to a court of competent jurisdiction upon completion of the investigation.
    Meanwhile, efforts have reportedly been intensified to apprehend other members of the cult still at large, while the police patrol teams and tactical squads have been deployed to the affected area.
