“I was the number one man of Eiye. My membership started from power tussle over boundary issue" Lagos Eiye Confraternity Ex-Leader Denounce His Membership

Many youths in Lagos are embracing a new way of life, especially in the Ijede Ikorodu area which was like a flash point. Members of various cult groups denounced their membership in the presence of the traditional rulers and security operatives recently.

The repentant cultists surrendered the ammunition in their possession to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Mr. Edgar Imohimi in the presence of Hon. Babajimi Benson, MHR and Hon Nurudeen Sholaja, to affirm their commitment in renouncing the evil way of life.

Olarewaju Adesoye, said to be the former head of Eiye confraternity, said at the event:

“I was the number one man of Eiye. My membership started from power tussle over boundary issue. But the crisis that followed was not what we bargained for. My appreciation goes to the local government chairman, who pioneered this move.

“We made up our minds to renounce our membership for long, but we didn’t know the logical way to follow so as not to be arrested”.

Former head of KK, Abdulrazeez Densi, said the renouncement marked a new beginning in his life.

“I decided to renounce my membership because of the safety of my life and that of members of my community. I want peace to reign in my community”, he said.
