The identities of the victims of the yesterday cult crash in Osogbo have been revealed . The attack was carried out by Aye in retaliation for previous killings of their members, including the July 15 killing of an Aye leader named Lekan, alias Leksy, in Egbatedo. Reports also linked the att@ck to anger over the September 13 killing of Emir Ajagungbade, an Aye leader.
Around 4pm today, October 2, the NBM (Aye) cult group carried out an att@ck in the Owo-Eba area, near Ilesha Garage, Osogbo, Osun State. A notorious Eiye (ACN) cultist and political thug named Small Rugged (pictured) was killed. Another Eiye cultist named Seyi Osha, was also killed.
A third Eiye cultist known as Mascot, who is a PA to Small Rugged, was hit and is in critical condition. A KK/Ave (CCI) cultist named Spirit was also hit and is in critical condition. Several others, including a non-cultist named Agba Kali, who had gone to play bet, a female worker, and a car wash attendant, were also hit, with reports of additional de@ths at the hospital.
Many Eiye cultists, including Small Rugged and his boys, had gathered in front of Peka’s Bar, where they had been drinking and socializing with a few friends who were not Eiye members.
They had been there since around 9am before the Aye attackers arrived at about 4pm in two vehicles, a Toyota Camry and a Toyota Sienna.
One vehicle was used in the attack while the other waited at the junction. The attackers opened fire, hitting several people, including Eiye members, a KK/Ave member, and non-cultists.
Osha was killed at the scene, while Small Rugged, who was the main target, fled but was pursued. After a long chase, he ran into a house, where he was caught and killed, despite wearing his charms. Osha, who just had his marriage introduction last week Saturday with his pregnant wife, was a number 4 man in the Eiye cult, while Small Rugged, who we will focus more on, was a number 2 man.
Small Rugged was very popular in Osogbo, much like the late Emir, the notorious Aye leader. Just like Emir, Small Rugged was also an Accord Party political thug and was among the cultists released from prison for the recently concluded elections.
Since his release, he was involved in the killing of several Ayes, which led to retaliatory attacks that killed members of his own Eiye cult.
He was also involved in attacks against Ayes aligned with the rival APC political party. On July 16, Naija Confra mentioned Small Rugged in our report following his involvement in the July 15 killing of former Aye leader Lekan, alias Leksy, in the Egbatedo area of Osogbo. Leksy was an APC political thug.
