There is palpable apprehension in Ofatedo, a community between Ede and Osogbo, after a suspected cultist killed a son of the town’s traditional ruler.
Yinusa, the son of the Olofa of Ofatedo, Oba Abdulah Okunloye, was reportedly killed while trying to settle a dispute between a commercial bus driver and one other person.
All roads leading in and out of the Ofatedo community were blocked with youths making bornfires on the road.

She said the operatives of the command are on the trail of the suspect, identified as BJ.
