Ogun State Police Investigate Cult Killing of Taiwo Saheed
Taiwo Saheed was allegedly killed by suspected members of the outlawed Eiye Confraternity in Atan, Ogun State, on October 15, 2026. Eyewitness accounts and a disturbing video showed Saheed lying in a pool of blood as one assailant struck him with a machete before severing his head.
Other members of the group were seen celebrating during the attack. Babaseyi Oluseyi, spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, confirmed the incident and stated that investigations are ongoing to apprehend those responsible.
The police are making proactive efforts to identify the perpetrators and ensure justice is served. Atan has a history of cult-related violence, with previous arrests made in April 2026 involving four suspected cultists for various crimes, including armed robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm.
