The informant said that before he attempted to flee by jumping into the river, the men eventually caught up to him and allegedly attacked him.

“Some people wanted to rescue him, but those chasing him prevented them from doing so.”

Opeyemi was subsequently said to have drowned. However, an anti-cultism advocacy platform, Naija Confra, gave a different account of the incident in a post.
