Suspected Eiye Cultists Brutally Kill Rival Member in Lagos.
According to a report by PUNCH on Monday, August 11, 2025, a man believed to be affiliated with a rival cult group has been brutally killed by suspected members of the Eiye confraternity in the Alaba area of Lagos State, marking yet another violent incident in the ongoing wave of cult-related attacks across the city.
The victim, identified only as Hope, was seen in a disturbing video circulating online shortly before his death. In the footage, reportedly recorded by his assailants, the visibly shaken man is seated on the floor while being questioned. He quietly states, “My name is Hope. I live on Abanise Street,” before the recording ends.
A second clip, lasting under half a minute, shows Hope lying lifeless with severe machete wounds to his neck and face. The chilling nature of the recording has drawn widespread condemnation from Lagos residents and social media users alike.
Several people who claimed to have known the deceased described him as a peaceful and reserved individual who avoided trouble. One person lamented that the killing was senseless and undeserved, while others called for urgent action from law enforcement to stem the surge in cult violence.
“This is heartbreaking,” one acquaintance wrote on social media. “I knew him personally calm, respectful, and always ready to resolve conflict without anger. Seeing him die like this is devastating.”
Another user urged the authorities to intervene decisively, warning that cult-related killings were becoming increasingly frequent and brazen in the state.
When contacted, Lagos State Police Command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin did not provide a response regarding possible arrests or investigations linked to the murder.
This latest attack follows a similar incident on July 19 in the Ojo-Igbede area, where gunmen on a motorcycle killed a man in broad daylight. Witnesses said the victim had just stepped out to buy food when the armed men forced him to kneel before shooting him at close range.
The repeated violence has left many residents of Lagos deeply unsettled, with calls growing louder for increased police presence and decisive action to dismantle cult networks operating in the city.
