The information revealed that a group of six unidentified men had entered the Agbowa area with the intention of instigating a clash between rival cult groups.

Odutola reported that the DPO promptly led a patrol team to the area where they found three unidentified young men lying lifeless in a pool of blood with gunshot wounds to their heads.

She continued, stating that the victims were rushed to Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital in Sagamu, where they were certified dead by a doctor and their bodies subsequently taken to the morgue.

Police also secured the area of the crime scene and recovered eight expended cartridges, one live cartridge, and one Samsung phone.

Subsequently, three individuals were arrested, namely Oluwatosin Adeniro, 25; Adebayo Oluwasun, 35; and Segun Ademola, 38.
