Surrender or meet deadly end, Ikorodu traditionalists warns Badoo cult...

As law enforcement agencies remain helpless in putting a stop to killings in Ikorodu Lagos, carried out by suspected members of a cult group known as Badoo, Traditionalists in Ikorodu community have taken matters into their hands in a war against the dreaded group.

The notorious cult group is known for wiping out whole families and using objects such as pestles and rocks to smash their victims’ heads.
On Wednesday, about a hundred native doctors garbed in white attire gathered at the palace of the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabiru Shotobi, to express their readiness to combat the group.

Many of them were armed with fetish objects like cow horns tied with red ribbons, chanting war songs.

To kickstart this phase of the “war”, the palace carried out some rituals while residents were advised to stay indoors between 11.30pm on Thursday, June 29 to 5.30am on June 30.

The Oluwo Osugbo of Ikorodu, Chief Adegboyega Adeyeri, who is one of the leaders of the traditionalists in the town, told Saturday PUNCH that they have kick-started the defeat of the Badoo group.

Even though he did not reveal specifics of measures taken, Adeyeri called on all members of the Badoo group to give themselves up as soon as possible.
According to Adeyeri, the members of the group have taken oaths of secrecy, which was why those caught never confessed.
Meanwhile, the Lagos chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, on the other hand, said it was holding prayer sessions over the matter even though it had not publicized it.
