Three persons have been shot dead in
renewed supremacy battle between Degban and Dewell cult gangs in Omuawa
community, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The supremacy clash which resumed Sunday night also resulted to
the arrest of five suspected cultists by the Rivers State Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS).
Jonah Nnnana, a resident who recounted the gun battle said: “It
was bloody. The fight was started at about 6:30pm by members of Degban cult
said to be avenging the death of their members killed in earlier battle with
the Dewell cult in a neighbouring community not long ago.”
He said innocent residents caught in the fierce shooting also
sustained various degrees of gunshots injury as most people deserted the
village to neighbouring communities for safety.
Mr. Welendu Obilor, member of the local vigilance group in the
area said people had to make distress calls to SARS whose swift response helped
to calm the situations.
He said: “SARS intervention resulted in the arrest of five
suspected cultists. We are calling on the police to concentrate investigation
in the locality and see to the arrest of the kingpins to forestall further
insecurity of lives and property of the innocent in our community.”
