Community deserted as cultists kill 19 residents in Rivers State
No fewer than 19 people were feared killed in a renewed cult clash in Obelle Community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State on Sunday.
The development has sparked panic in the area as residents have deserted the community for safety.
It would be recalled that on Wednesday, unidentified gunmen believed to be members of a cult group invaded the community and killed seven people.
While the community was still reeling in the pain of the incident, on Sunday morning, the two cult groups in the area resumed their battle for supremacy after over two years of vacation.
It was gathered that the supremacy battle on Sunday was between the Deybam and Icelanders cult groups.

Our correspondent learnt that after the Wednesday killing, the group whose members were killed on Sunday invaded Obelle community and started attacking relatives of those perceived to be part of the cult group that earlier killed seven people.
A source in the area, who gave his name simply as Kingsley, alleged that it was while the group who lost their members on Wednesday was operating that the rivals arrived.
Kingsley said, “On Sunday, cultists clashed in our community. Many people have been killed. Innocent people were killed. The shooting was too much and the people started leaving the community. About 19 people have been killed.
“On Sunday morning, some cultists came out and started shooting. They were attacking relatives of the people they said were members of the gang that killed their members. It did not take time, the other group came out. They started shooting themselves. People from the two groups also died.
“We are calling on the government to come to our aid. These cults are trying to scatter the people we have in this community. We want the police and army to help us.”
When contacted, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident, saying the clash was linked to levies from an oil company in the area, saying the number of casualty was 10.
She stated, “It is a cult clash between loyalists of Naked Wire and Carol. They are fighting over the control of levies from an oil company operative in the area.
“About 10 confirmed dead. No arrest yet, but investigation is ongoing.”
There’s noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made certain nice points in options also.
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at larkmarket added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at royalrafter the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at gildedgroveoutlet continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at silvercovevault suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at creekharborcollective extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at silkgroveemporium reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at windharborvault continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at frostridgeoutpost kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at berrycovegalleria continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at cloudharborcollective only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at multitabmarket extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
