School Reacts As Two Injured In Rival Cult Clash In Osun Poly

The story behind a disturbing viral video has been revealed as two persons reportedly sustained varying degrees of injuries in the early hours of Monday following a violent cult clash at the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree.

Among the wounded individuals were students of the institution.

The incident, which sparked panic across the campus, was reportedly a fallout of a confrontation between two rival cult groups — the Buccaneers and the Supreme Eiye Confraternity.

According to credible sources within the institution, gunshots were heard around 11:00 a.m. within the school premises, leading to a state of pandemonium as students and staff fled for safety.

It was gathered that one of the victims, a female yet to be identified, sustained a critical head injury and was rushed to a nearby medical facility.

Two other individuals, also believed to be students, were reportedly injured in the melee and are currently receiving treatment.

A disturbing video obtained by OSUN DEFENDER revealed a three-man gang armed with machetes assaulting a young man near the institution’s microfinance bank.

The footage, which circulated widely among students, captured the gruesome scene, further intensifying fear among the student populace.

Multiple accounts confirmed that the violence was not random but linked to a simmering tension between the aforementioned confraternities.

Some residents of Iree claimed to have noticed unusual movements around the campus in the days leading up to the incident.

Speaking, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr Adebayo Fedeji, confirmed the incident, stating that the school authority was aware of the disturbance.

Security operatives were swiftly mobilised to the scene, and normalcy was gradually restored as of the time of filing this report.

“We have invited the anti-cultism squad from the force headquarters and they are here with us.

“The situation is calm as it is now, and nobody died.

“A guy was injured and another girl fell when she was running and she’s presently in the hospital, those are the only 2 people affected”.
