Why I ordered Cult leader to be murdered — Eiye Confraternity gang leader confessed
Adejumo Wasiu, also known as Bombler, the head of the Eiye Confraternity in Ijoko, Ogun State, was arrested after giving orders to kill a rival cult member named Segun, also known as Adisa. The 37-year-old sought vengeance for his father's death at the hands of the Black Axe cult.
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer SP Omolola Odutola stated that Wasiu was captured by the Anti-Cultism Squad, led by Commander CSP Sunday Daramola, as violence escalated between competing cult factions in the area. Investigations revealed that Wasiu had instructed the murder of an Aye cult member, Adisa, back in May.
Fleeing upon learning he was wanted for murder, Wasiu evaded authorities until being tracked down and arrested in Igboora, Oyo State. He has been taken back to Eleweran for further questioning.
In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, Wasiu disclosed details about himself, mentioning his involvement with the Eiye Confraternity and his past activities. He recounted a previous encounter with the police where he was accused of belonging to a cult, which led to his court appearance and eventual bail.
I was feeling anxious about the situation, and even before that happened, I had been contemplating moving to Igboora in Oyo State. I had already secured a place to stay but hadn't furnished it yet or obtained household items.
However, upon hearing about the potential consequences, I decided to skip bail and went to Igboora. The person who had stood as my guarantor started calling me, questioning why I didn't show up in court and informing me that he had been summoned by the court. I shared with him what I had heard and explained why I chose not to attend court.
What occurred was in May, before I stopped appearing in court, one of my associates, who is my second-in-command, informed me that he saw the leader of the Aye Confraternity in Ijoko, Adisa, under the bridge in the area. At that time, I was already in Igboora with a lady I had impregnated, having ended things with my former girlfriend. Upon hearing this, I instructed my second-in-command and others to take action against Adisa.
Adisa, Olamilekan, and Fatai are the ones who came to our house during the Ileya celebration Day and killed my father. We lived in the same neighborhood, and they brutally murdered my father.
When I explained my situation and the likely consequences to my guarantor, he urged me to appear in court. However, I opted to change my SIM card so that he couldn't contact me.
During that time, I had a disagreement with the girlfriend I had in Ifo because I had another girlfriend in Igboora who was pregnant. When my Ifo girlfriend found out, she was upset, and I had to block her from reaching out to me.
My mother later informed me that my Ifo girlfriend claimed she too was pregnant and wanted to see me. My Igboora girlfriend also agreed due to my mother's persuasion, unaware that they were accompanied by the police, court clerks, and my guarantor. This led to my apprehension, only to find out later that she wasn't actually pregnant.
Aside from Adisa, prior to my first imprisonment, I was involved in the killing of an Aye cultist named EnuEja about seven years ago during a rivalry between two monarchs in Ijoko. Eiye members supported one monarch, while Aye members supported the other.
I entered the Eiye cult group in 2003 with the bird name Kiwi. To identify myself, I would simply say: 'Word Kiwi Oshe.' My godfather, Usman, who introduced me to cultism, has since passed away. He was my elder biological brother. Usman initiated me into cultism when we went to his school in a polytechnic in Kwara State. I was a secondary school certificate holder at the time. During the initiation process in the bush on the school premises, we were beaten, given alcohol to drink, and informed that we were now Eiye cultists.
During fights with rival groups, we used machetes and guns. As the leader ("Number 1"), I held the constitution, while the second-in-command ("Number 2") acted as the armorer, responsible for a gun.
