Monday, August 10, 2026 - A man identified as Azeez has reportedly di£d after he was allegedly beaten by suspected cultists during a dispute over a missing mobile phone in the Oko-Oba area of Agege, Lagos State.
The incident occurred on Monday, August 3, after Azeez and
some associates reportedly became involved in an argument over a missing phone
following a party.
The argument escalated into a physical attack on Azeez by
some of the suspected cultists, who were said to be his friends.
He reportedly sustained injuries during the assault and di£d
later.
Anti-cultism advocacy platform, Naija Confra, provided a
detailed account of the incident in a post published on Saturday, August
8, alleging that the events began during a birthday celebration
on Sunday night, August 2.
Naija Confra claimed that a fight broke out at the gathering
and that a man identified as Abela allegedly picked up a phone and handed it to
Azeez.
According to the account, the phone’s owner later realised
it was missing and began searching for it. When the device was eventually
traced to Azeez, he allegedly explained that Abela had given it to him for
safekeeping.
Naija Confra alleged that Abela denied handing the phone to
Azeez despite claims that witnesses had seen him do so.
The platform further claimed that the phone’s owner and some
associates subsequently assaulted Azeez before leaving the venue after
allegedly being unable to confront Abela.
It added that Azeez later confronted Abela over the alleged
denial, resulting in another confrontation that reportedly escalated into a
further assault.
According to Naija Confra, Azeez was subsequently taken to
another location by suspected members of a cult group, where he was allegedly
attacked.
Azeez eventually di£d from injuries sustained during the
assault.
