The Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC) has arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly killing his mate during a cult clash in Ijanikin.
The suspect, Adewale Ayuba, allegedly committed the crime on October 21 during a fight between pupils of Oto Awori Secondary School and Government Secondary School.
Ayuba was said to have stabbed one Abdulahi Wasiu on the chest killing him on the spot.

“When LNSC operation team got the information, they notified Ijanikin police station. The police in conjunction with LNSC took the deceased to the hospital.
“The boy that committed the offence ran away but he was fished out and arrested by our men who handed him over to Ijanikin police station for further action,” said Afolabi.
Meanwhile, policemen attached to Alapere Division on Saturday morning arrested four suspected cultists including a woman said to have lodged at a hotel in the neighbourhood.
