Cult Clash: Governor Abiodun Imposes Dusk To Dawn Curfew On Sagamu

The Ogun State government has implemented a curfew in Sagamu, a town located in the Sagamu Local Government Area.

VerseNews reports that the curfew was imposed due to recent clashes involving rival cult groups in the area, particularly between the Eiye and Aiye confraternities.

These clashes resulted in the reported deaths of at least four individuals, with incidents occurring on both Saturday and Sunday.

Governor Dapo Abiodun announced the curfew on his social media platform (formerly Twitter) on Monday evening.

The curfew restricts movement in Sagamu from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

Residents are urged to comply with this restriction order until the security situation improves, and law enforcement agencies are actively working to restore normalcy in the town.

The statement read: “This is to notify residents of Sagamu and its environs of total restriction of human and vehicular movement as a way of taking firm control of the security architecture of the area and protect the lives of the people and their property.

“We, therefore, implore the residents of the area to abide strictly to this restriction order and cooperate with security agencies to restore normalcy and bring perpetrators of these dastardly acts to book immediately.”
