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.”









Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at trustcollective kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at bondstrength continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over clicktofindsolutions the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.
Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at clickforprogress carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at discovernewdirections confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at amberhollow confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at ideasforwardmotion kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at opalgrainoutlet added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.
The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at eveningorchard 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.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at lunarfieldgoods sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at firstanchor continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at clickignite provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at highridgeoutlet 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.
Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at midpointbond added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.
Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at vigilantbond confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.
Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at coreward reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at concordbonding did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at lunarharvestmarket confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
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 northstarbond only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at mosslightemporium extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at bondhorizon hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at quantumbond continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
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 bondcapital only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at lunarbaygoods 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.
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 bondstable 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.
Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at sunriftgoods kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at willowforgeemporium 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.
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at integrabond 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.
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at createbetteroutcomes earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at premiumshoppingzone reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at smartbuyingcorner 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.
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at quietstoneboutique continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at bestshoppingchoice extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at stablegroundbond only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at emberstoneboutique kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at forwardthinkingclick extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at assurancebonded reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at confluencebond 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.
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at puretrustbond continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at hollowcreekoutlet confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at trustedlegacy continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at corecapital suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.
