Three killed as cult clash disrupts masquerade festival in Lagos Island.
At least three people were killed during violent clashes that erupted at a masquerade festival in the Lagos Island area of Lagos State.
Although the exact trigger of the killings remains uncertain, accounts suggest that the event was hijacked by suspected cult members, turning what began as a cultural celebration into a bloody supremacy battle.
Residents said the violence broke out shortly after the festival ended, spiraling into chaos.
“We had just finished the festival when a fight broke out among some boys suspected to be cultists.
“They started hurling bottles and brandishing weapons. Nobody could intervene, everyone simply ran for safety,” a community member narrated under anonymity.
Videos circulating online showed suspected cultists engaging in heavy gunfire along Lagos Street. In one clip, at least five gunshots rang out, while another showed a group of assailants brutally beating a victim.
Another resident, who identified himself as Kazeem, said the unrest stretched late into the night.
“The fight started in the evening and continued until midnight. Many of us couldn’t sleep because of the noise and the destruction,” he recounted.
