Two cult groups, the National Association of Airlords (alias Eiye Confraternity), Sagamu chapter, and the Neo Black Movement, popularly called Aye, have begged the Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Adewale Ajayi, and other traditional rulers in Remoland to forgive them of all their wrongdoings.
Consequently, the two groups have written letters of apologies to the royal fathers seeking pardon for their past improper behaviour that have caused the communities so much trouble.
In letters that have gone viral on social media, the two groups pleaded for mercy and promised to abide by the country’s laws going forward.
Available reports showed that the letter from the Eiye Confraternity was dated December 22, 2023, while that of Aye was dated December 26, 2023.
The development is against the backdrop of the crisis that has engulfed Sagamu following the fatal cult clashes in which no fewer than 30 lives have reportedly been lost.
As a response to deal with the menace and check the deteriorating situation, a task force was established by the community leadership, in collaboration with police, vigilante groups, and the So-Safe Corps as well as Amotekun.
In its letter titled; “Letter of Apology,” and signed by “Supreme Most Eiye Confraternity”, the Eiye Confraternity said; “We the above-named association of Sagamu chapter, hereby apologise to everyone in the community as we are ready to operate and follow any rules and regulations been laid down by the community to stop any future recurrence.
“We are begging for your forgiveness and to please find a place in your heart to forgive us for the wrongdoings and barbaric acts that had occurred in the past, as it will not repeat itself.
“We are deeply sorry once again; we are all making use of this medium in promising the community that Sagamu shall be peaceful till the end of time.”
On their part, the Neo-Black Movement’s letter read thus; “We the above-named organisation want to use this medium to let the community know that we are a peaceful organisation and we will remain one.
“We also want to use this medium to appreciate your efforts in making sure there’s peaceful co-existence within Sagamu and Remo at large. Long Live Sagamu!”
