Cult Clash in Ikorodu’s Oreta Community Leaves Three Dead

Suspected cultists killed a 22-year-old man, Abdulmalik Bakare, and two others in Oreta community, Ikorodu, Lagos State on Wednesday, June 14, 2026. The violence followed an earlier afternoon dispute on Gbogbo Road, where local youths stopped a container trailer demanding money. The driver insisted his employers had already paid N350,000 at a nearby junction. During the scuffle, a teenager who climbed onto the truck was trapped and later died in what police described as an accident. That night around 8pm, armed men on motorcycles stormed Oreta, firing indiscriminately. They killed a shopkeeper, a physically challenged child who was eating, and a customer buying fish. Six suspects have been arrested, and the Divisional Police Officer has pledged a thorough investigation.
