Suspected Cultist Confesses to Killing Sister's Infant While Under Influence in Edo

A suspected cultist has confessed to killing his sister's baby in Edo State while under the influence of alcohol and hard drugs, citing intoxication as the cause of the fatal attack.

The suspect, identified as Osemudiamen, made the confession on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, during an interrogation by security operatives. A video of his statement was posted online by the anti-cultism advocacy platform Naija Confra.

Detailed Confession of the Crime

During the interrogation, Osemudiamen stated: "I am here because I killed my sister’s baby. I got high with drinks and colos. It was Fredrick who gave me the colos. I met him on the way and saw him smoking." The term "colos" is commonly understood as slang for a hard narcotic substance.

Cult Affiliation and Failed Renunciation Attempt

The suspect further revealed that he is a member of the Aye confraternity, a known cult group. He claimed he had been in the process of renouncing his membership—a process often referred to as "deaxing"—before the tragic incident occurred.

"I am a member of the Aiye confraternity, and I was going to deaxe myself," he said. He added that he had contacted a lawyer for assistance but could not afford the legal fees required to facilitate the process.

The case highlights the devastating consequences of substance abuse and cult-related violence. Security agencies are continuing their investigation.

In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...
