P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect, Scanley, who is on the wanted list of Policemen from Igode Divisional Police Station reportedly invaded the burial ceremony with another member of his gang, James Schoolboy, before reinforcing with more than twenty members of the cult group.

The vigilante member, who was shot by by the cult member, Adekunle Enifeni, while speaking on his experience with the cult members, said that he was shot  while trying to escape from the gang.

Enifeni said that Scanley, Schoolboy, No Salary, Spirit, Azeez Parapara, Ayewo  and others are already wanted for the killing of another vigilante member in Fakale around the same community and went away with his severed hands.

He narrated: “We were having burial prayers for one of my brothers that died in Baga Eriyo when the cult boys came. It was Scanley (Rashidi) and Schoolboy (James ) that came first”.

“The burial was going on well and when it was time to share food, Scanley began to distrupt the whole programme and Schoolboy also joined him.”

The vigilante member added, “The residents of the community came to me to come and restore peace. I quickly called the DPO of Igode Police Station and he told me that he had sent his boys there”.

“Scanley was disturbing everybody there threatening to kill then. Schoolboy was also attacking people. Scanley brought  out his phone and called other members of the gang to mobilize themselves and come to Baga Eriyo.”

Enifemi continued, “Not up to thirty minutes, other members of their gang came on many motorcycles and started shooting indiscriminately”.

“At that point in time, I knew I was not safe again. I tried to rush into the bush and they shot at me but I escaped into the bush.”

He also added, “I ran till I got some people, who rescued and took me to Igode Police Station, where I was given medical report to go and treat myself . He escaped with other members of the group”.

“The Police have been looking for Scanley for many crimes that he had committed in many places. He is a notorious criminal and cult member. He was arrested some months ago but his Godfather, Sir K, facilitated his release before he could be prosecuted.”

The vigilante member also stated, “When I came to this community, the CDA and the CDC requested for my services to be guarding their communities”.

“I told them to write a letter to the Police and other necessary security agencies. They did and we set up our security unit in this area” the vigilante member said.

He added, “After a few days, Scanley led some of the cult members and threatened me that they were in charge of Abatiwa Igode and Baga Eriwo and that I should not disturb their operations”.

“After some months, we arrested one of them for robbery and he was taken away by Policemen from Igode Divisional Police Station.”

Enifemi stated, “The other members of the gang mobilized themselves and attacked me for facilitating the arrest of one of them, who was arrested for robbery”.

The spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, said that she has not received the report of the attack on the Ogun community.
