During a battle between repentant and active cultists in Irojo, Ilesa, Osun State, a man simply identified as Olorunwa was hit by a stray bullet.
According to a source, the man was hit by stray gunfire while out shopping for cowpea for his breakfast.
According to reports, the cult conflict began on Tuesday when a cult leader named Solo Iwara, who hails from Iwaraja, launched an attack on the renounced cultists in Ilesa.
According to a source, Solo Iwara allegedly launched another attack Wednesday morning after a gun duel on Tuesday.
According to a witness who requested anonymity, Olorunwa, who worked in a sawmill in the area, was a laid-back person.
