A 25 year old suspected cultist has revealed that he joined the Black Axe cult so as to meet popular Nigerian singer, Davido.
According to Tobi Adegoke, he was lured into the group with promises that he would meet music star, David Adeleke alias Davido.
According to The Nation, Tobi Adegoke who said he was an upcoming music artist, said he believed meeting Davido would have helped his music career boom. He said;
“I am an Aiye member (Black Axe). I have been in the cult for about two years. I was told that Davido was a member and if I joined, I will be able to meet him.
“It was the guy who initiated me that said so. He said he worked for Davido and that it will be easy access. But since I joined, I have not met Davido. They told me I’ll become a very popular musician but see where I am now.
“I lived at Oniru in Lekki. I used to be a domestic help. Since I joined, I have not done anything bad. I habe not killed anybody. I just wanted to be a famous musician.”
Urging other aspiring musicians to be patient, Adegoke said he regretted being on the fast lane, adding that if he had remained steadfast, he would not have landed into trouble.
Another suspect, Biodun Alade, 22, said he joined his own group about four months ago, adding that the teardrop tattoo on his left eye was not a cult symbol.
However, several others denied being cultists, insisting they were arrested during random raids carried out by policemen in their neighbourhoods.
