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. Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at northfieldcraft reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.

  2. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at bondedtrustnet 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.

  3. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at crazecocoa maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  4. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at riverquartzstore extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  5. 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 peaklinebond 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.

  6. Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at suncrestlane was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.

  7. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at surefootbond added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.

  8. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at mainstaybond earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  9. Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at guardianbond showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.

  10. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at honestbonding 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.

  11. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at rustandpetal maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  12. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at pathwaytomomentum added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  13. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at bondward continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.

  14. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at clickfield extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  15. Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at clicktowinonline extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.

  16. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at emberleafmarket added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  17. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at reliancebonded suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  18. Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at explorefutureoptions added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  19. Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to wildplumgoods earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  20. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at cornerstoneaxis kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  21. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after longviewbond 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.

  22. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at frostlineboutique maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  23. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at midwaterfinds 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.

  24. Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at northbayemporium continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.

  25. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at dailyshoppingpoint extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  26. Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at clicktolearnmore 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.

  27. Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at crestbulb 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.

  28. Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at integritybonded held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.

  29. Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at goldenmaplemarket reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.

  30. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at clicktoexploremore 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.

  31. Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at monumentbond suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.

  32. Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at riverbloomatelier extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.

  33. 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 pillarstone 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.

  34. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at driftwoodlanestore pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  35. Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at capitalkeystone the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.

  36. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at legacyharbor extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  37. Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at bondedaxis added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

  38. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at coremerge added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  39. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at everoakmarket extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.

  40. Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at midtownmeadow kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.

  41. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at bondedpartnerships continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  42. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at nextclicker extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.

  43. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at thinkmoveadvance extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  44. Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at corebridgebond continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.

  45. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at startbuildingclarity 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.

  46. Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at bondedlinkage also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.

  47. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at bondedcapitalflow confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  48. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at bondfirm added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  49. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at northshorefinds kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  50. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at mistspireemporium kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
