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.”

  1. Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at formdomain kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.

  2. Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at sparkengine continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.

  3. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at appprairie added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  4. A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at unionunit continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.

  5. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at blog33size continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  6. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at shiftspot continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  7. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at hostinghaven only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  8. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at softsapling suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  9. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at partyparcel maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  10. High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at echostack kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  11. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at primepickings continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

  12. Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at blog33particularly continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.

  13. Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at formdeskz also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

  14. The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at orbitoutlet kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.

  15. Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at webcube the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.

  16. Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at rotiandrice extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

  17. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at srmmela sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  18. Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at omniordery did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.

  19. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at weborchard maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  20. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at warungtemen continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  21. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at orderswift continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  22. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at shiftkit extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  23. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at blog33along sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  24. Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at cedarceleste continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.

  25. Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at questqode kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.

  26. A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at poplarprime continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.

  27. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at pearlnet extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  28. Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at darktales added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.

  29. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at kodegrid maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  30. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at blog33be suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  31. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at auroriv continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  32. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at hubgrid kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

  33. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at stackspot prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  34. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at blog33church reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  35. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at blog44hard produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  36. Thanks for discussing your ideas. I’d also like to state that video games have been actually evolving. Today’s technology and revolutions have made it simpler to create realistic and active games. All these entertainment games were not that sensible when the real concept was first of all being tried out. Just like other designs of technological innovation, video games also have had to advance by way of many many years. This itself is testimony towards the fast progression of video games.

  37. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through choicezone only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

  38. I’m not sure why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  39. Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at mimosamarket extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  40. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at modernmarble continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  41. Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at stackspoty extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  42. Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at webcube extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.

  43. Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at truereach kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

  44. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at prosperit added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  45. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at villatravel did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.

  46. Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at telehealthtools extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.

  47. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at blog44hand reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  48. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at blog44environments confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  49. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at greenguild earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  50. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at dashboarddock adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.
