Suspected cultists attacked and killed a 30-year-old barber, Toheen Folarin, in the Obantoko area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Tuesday, January 7.

A statement released by the command’s spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, says The victim was said to be working in his shop when, suddenly, at about 10pm, the assailants emerged and shot him on the left side of the chest. Before fleeing the scene, the assailants severed the victim’s left hand and made away with it.

On receipt of the information, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Obantoko mobilized and led a team of detectives, with additional support from a patrol team and the Anti-cultism Unit of Adatan Area Command at the scene, where they found the victim in a pool of his own blood and his severed hand.

A scene was thereafter created as attempts by the officers to extricate the corpse to the mortuary were vehemently protested by irate youths, saying, as a Moslem, he had to be buried in accordance with Islamic rite.

Odutola added that the command had launched a manhunt for the killers and that the heightened tension and restiveness that greeted the incident had been put under control.
