THE struggle for supremacy
between suspected rival cult groups have
claimed two lives in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State
capital.
It was discovered that the incident occurred,
Wednesday, at 9.30p.m., at the Ekeki and
Kpansia suburbs of Yenagoa.
According to eyewitnesses, four arm-wielding
youths accosted a 32-year-old man at the
Ekeki park junction and shot him dead.
The victim, identified as Otoko, popularly
known as Oracle , an indigene of Delta State, is
believed to be a member of a rival cult.
Also at the Kpansia area, some suspected
cultists, were reported to have stormed a suya
spot, lured their victim with a girl and shot him
at close range.
The victim was said to have died while being
rushed to the hospital.
There had been increasing cases of burglary
and stealing, cult-related killings and armed
robbery in the state capital in recent times.
Spokesman of the State Police Command,
Asinim Butswat, could not be reached for
comment, but a senior security officer,
attached to the anti-vice section of the
command said police have achieved a lot in
the area of arrests of cultists and criminals in
the state.
He, however, added: “The setbacks are caused
by poor logistics, shortage of patrol vehicles
and refusal of the public to assist the police
with vital information.”
