The shooting was linked to the killing of two suspected cultists at a beer parlour on Sunday.
A journalist, Sodiq Lawal said the deceased were suspected to be cult members.
“Their bodies were picked up along the Ilesa/Akure expressway by the police this afternoon. We all ran for cover when we heard noise from the scene.
