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. Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at bondedalliancehub closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.

  2. Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at steadfastlink continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.

  3. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at assuredlink 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.

  4. A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at legacycapital maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.

  5. Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to focusshapesmotion I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.

  6. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at claritybuildsvelocity continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  7. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at actionshapesdirection extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  8. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at bluechipbonding confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  9. A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at synergycapitalgroup maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.

  10. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at dreamvision 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.

  11. Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at actionguidesmovement carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.

  12. Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at anchortrust continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  13. Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at claritydrivenmotion only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  14. Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at progressorchestrator earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.

  15. If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at trustallianceworks reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  16. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at focusdirector reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

  17. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at clingclasp 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.

  18. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at progresssignal 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.

  19. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at synergybonded confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  20. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at growthnavigator maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  21. Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at actionsequence extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

  22. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at echelonbond kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  23. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at directionalprocess continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

  24. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at guardedbond kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  25. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at bondedpillars 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.

  26. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at steadfastbond held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

  27. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at coastauras reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  28. Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at clarityopenspathways 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.

  29. Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to capitalbondway I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

  30. Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at wardstone extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.

  31. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at actioncreatesforward earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  32. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at forwardenergyengine extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  33. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to unifiedbondnetwork maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  34. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at progressmovesbyclarity maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  35. Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at focusdrivenmovement the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  36. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at intentionalgrowth extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  37. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at clarityroute 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.

  38. Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at valuecrestbond got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.

  39. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at momentumengine earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  40. 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 forwardmomentum 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.

  41. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at unitytrustbridge reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  42. The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at corealliant maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.

  43. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at directionanchorsaction confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  44. Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at actiongrid continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

  45. A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at bondedvaluegroup added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.

  46. Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed gildedbond I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

  47. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to capitalharbor maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  48. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at trustforge did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  49. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at clarityactivatesgrowth carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  50. Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at capitalvertex held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
