Four persons have been feared killed after rampaging
cultists attacked Okwale community, Khana Local
Government Area of Rivers State.
The armed cultists, it was gathered, attacked Okwale
community in what sources have described as a reprisal
attack.
It is unclear if the four persons killed were cultists but the
attack has forced many residents out of the community.
A source in the community told DAILY POST that, “The
gunmen came on Tuesday morning heavily armed. Some of
them did not cover their faces and they just started
shooting any how.
“It was when they left that we saw that four people were
killed. Bullet even touched some people.
“The shooting was so much that the armed boys left
unchallenged.”
Friday Nkee, a former member of the Rivers State House
of Assembly who hails from the community described the
incident as “unfortunate”.
The Rivers State Police Command is yet to react to the
latest attack by cultists.
