  "account": "A man lost his life and another sustained serious injuries in a suspected cult clash in the Ojo Road area of Ajegunle, Lagos State. The incident reportedly unfolded on Sunday evening, September 27, after a dispute that led to a member of the Aye cult group, named Qudus, stabbing a suspected member of the Vikings confraternity. According to Naija Confra, a member of the Vikings was allegedly seen attacking Qudus, who was subsequently taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment. However, the rival Aye members retaliated, resulting in the death of an individual near a bus stop on Ojo Road.\n\nConflicting accounts emerged from the scene. While the Aye group claimed Qudus was their member, they were contradicted by other Aye members who denied his affiliation. Additionally, an individual named Mohawk, who shared the incident on X, reported that the dispute began when four people arrived to instigate the fight, with one of them bringing an outsider to the area. This outsider allegedly attacked Qudus and three other individuals. Mohawk further mentioned that some participants may have been unaware of the outsider's intentions. The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, was not aware of the incident, stating she would verify the details with the DPO or Area Commander.",
