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. F*ckin? tremendous things here. I am very glad to see your post. Thanks a lot and i’m looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?

  2. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at safesaffron reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  3. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at indigovendor did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.

  4. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at zenwharf extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  5. Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at verdantvendor held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

  6. Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at lahorelabel reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.

  7. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at nauticalnook confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

  8. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at forestvendorcorner kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.

  9. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at woodbazaar extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  10. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at chromecentral kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  11. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at ashbazaar confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  12. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after oliveorder I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.

  13. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at zenalune suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.

  14. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thank you!

  15. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at fiberfoods kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  16. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at spasummit added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.

  17. Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at wintercrate 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.

  18. Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at wishwarehouse reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

  19. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at grivor 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.

  20. Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at nightnarrative extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.

  21. Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at glassaisle kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.

  22. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at clickcraftshop continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  23. Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at lemonmarket confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.

  24. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at terracrate suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.

  25. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at dlinkden reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  26. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at opalornate extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  27. However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at junipercrate continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.

  28. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at juniperjunction continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  29. Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at tinyharbor confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.

  30. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at raynora extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  31. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at pearlvendor 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.

  32. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at vanillavendor continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  33. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at duneparcel 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.

  34. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at olivebazaar added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  35. Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at queltaa extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.

  36. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at xenonest provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  37. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to cherryaisle kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  38. Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
    having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  39. Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at echostall produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.

  40. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at mossmarketplace maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  41. Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at tealmarket continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  42. Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to nutmegneon kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.

  43. Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to praxiva confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.

  44. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at yogayonder added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

  45. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at pepperpavilion added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.

  46. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at jeweljunction produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  47. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at shieldedshelf added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.
