The 1st Person We Killed Was Soweto, A Member Of Eiye, I Was The One Recording -Emmanuel

A man believed to be linked to the Neo Black Movement, also referred to as the Aiye Confraternity, identified as Emmanuel, has reportedly admitted his involvement in the killing of a person who was not a member of the cult group.

As reported by Nigerian Tribune on Saturday, June 6, 2026, Emmanuel was arrested during a police raid aimed at curbing cult-related violence across parts of Ojo Local Government Area in Lagos State, including Ishashi, Shibiri, Ajangbadi, and Ilogbo. 

The operation formed part of intensified security actions following a rise in clashes between rival cult factions in the area.

During police questioning, Emmanuel allegedly confessed that he and three others lured the victim to a location under the pretext of purchasing illegal drugs. He stated that once the victim arrived, he was attacked and killed.

He further admitted that the group had previously been involved in another killing, which targeted a member of a rival cult organization.

In his alleged statement, he said: “The first person we killed was Soweto, a member of the Eiye Confraternity, who also had a gun. 

We deceived him by saying we wanted to buy hard drugs. He was into drug dealing. Four of us Emma, Paragon, Santa and myself — carried out the operation. I was the one who recorded the killing.”

Authorities say investigations are still ongoing as efforts continue to tackle cult violence and criminal activities in the affected communities.
