The landlord and residents of a house on Pipeline Way, Arepo, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State have abandoned the house after some Oro worshippers in the community dumped a ‘sacrifice’ in front of the house.
The cult group had been attacking some residents of the area under the pretext of observing a ritual.
Apparently, the matter came to a head around 2am on Wednesday when they assembled in front of the house and dumped a big tray of ‘sacrifice’ in front of the building and threw materials inside the house.
They were also said to have vandalised vehicle in the compound and threw stones into the rooms of the residents.
The landlady, Mrs. Yemisi Falola, claimed her family was in danger, adding that the cultists attacked her daughter as well.
She said, “We have been living here since 1996 and our house is directly facing the community primary school.
“One of the teachers, called Reverend, and a youth leader, Rasaki Fashina, extended the school field to encroach on the road. They barricaded it with rolls of tyres. The reason is that they usually lease out the field for parties and they make money from the business.
“Because of this, motorists had no road to pass and most times, they have to take the frontage of our house. We called the attention of the community leaders to it, but we were ignored.
“On May 17, about 40 of them came to threaten me in the church. On June 2, I asked an electricity official to erect some poles for me, but they attacked and chased him away.”
