Five persons have been feared killed in Igbokoda, headquarters of Ilaje Local Government Area, in a clash between rival cult groups.
Sources said cult clashes over a land dispute in the area have claimed over 20 lives since May this year.
Among those killed in the last three days are a popular Disc Jockey in the locality, a tricycle rider Idowu Agbude and a resident Asogbon Obayomi.
A native of Igbokoda, Prince Emorioloye Owolemi, said the cult clashes had been happening since 2012.
The council chairman, Olamigoke Jatuwase, said security agencies have been mobilised to calm the situation.
“I have visited Akure, the state capital to report the case to the state government and I believe they are putting a lasting solution in place.”
Ondo Police Command spokesman, Fumilayo Odunlami, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), said she was yet to be briefed.
