 Viewer's Discretion is advised 


Suspected cultists last night  shot  a man in his mid twenties popularly Known as 'Asari' dead at Ekwe Mile 3 Diobu PortHarcourt City Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Eyewitness account disclosed that the said 'Asari' was standing with some persons when about five  armed men came out from a car  and shot him thrice and fled the scene.

Our Correspondent who visited the scene gathered from sources that the killing is said to be as a result of supremacy  war between two suspected factions of Deygbam cult groups (History and Blackies Houses) that are said to be affiliated to the D12 and BS houses of Deygbam cult groups.

We learned that the shooting caused serious chaos as passersby,road users and commuters scampered for safety while road side traders within the scene closed business for the day.


 Chief Security Officer ,CSO, of Nkpolu Oroworukwo Mile 3 Diobu 
Comrade Godstime Ihunwo who spoke with our Correspondent narrated the incident.

"At about 8pm last night, we heard two gunshots at Ekwe street  opposite Bishop Okoye street and quickly rushed down to the scene and saw a young man known as 'Asari' laying dead and immediately we approached the Nkpolu Police station to tender our report'' .

"As we and the Police were coming back to inspect the corpse,we got a report that some unknown gunmen drove with one Jetta and one Mazda and made away with the corpse''.

Comrade Ihunwo called on the general public to remain calm  and go about their lawful activities as the Police and the vigilantes are on ground to restore sanity in the area.
