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.”









Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at onlineconsumerbuying continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at everydaypurchaseplatform carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at clickforgrowthinsights 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.
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at professionalbusinessbonding 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.
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at buildsmartergrowthpaths 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.
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at globaldigitalshoppingmarket produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at airycargo reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at clicktoexplorefutures suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at learnfromexpertinsights 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.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at bluecrestbond added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at clicktolearnstrategically continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at learnbusinessskillsonline added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at explorebusinessopportunities extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at globalvaluebuyingstore only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at urbanretailshoppingzone reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at globalcommercialalliances extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at nextlevelshoppingexperience carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
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 growwithrightchoices 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.
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 longtermcommercialbonds only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at startyournextmove extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at corporatetrustnetwork furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at discoverprofessionalgrowth continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at longtermvaluealliances reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at buildfuturefocusedpaths 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.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at discoveractionableideas 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.
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to onlineconsumerbuying maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork 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.
Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at explorefuturedirections 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.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at discoverbetterapproaches suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at simpleecommercesolutions prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at easyonlinepurchasecenter extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at strategicunitypartnerships 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.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at trustedpurchaseexperience reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at globalretailcommercehub added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at clickforbetterdecisions 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.
Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at learnsomethinguseful reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at buildlongtermvision 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.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at amidbull extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at trustedenterpriseframework 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.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at clicktoexpandknowledgebase provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed strategicunitypartners 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.
Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at explorelongtermopportunities extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at trustedenterprisealliances reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at longtermvaluepartnership added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at nextgenonlinebuying continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.
Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to professionalbondsolutions continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at modernretailbuyinghub earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at simpleecommercesolutions 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.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at trustedbusinessframework 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.
