No fewer than three persons have been killed and over 10 houses burnt in Akpoha community, in the Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, when two rival cults clashed on Monday, April 29, 2019.

Southern City News gathered that one Eze Ikpor, 18, was still in a coma in an undisclosed hospital in the state owing to the injuries he sustained during the clash.


It was also learnt that one of those killed was identified as Ogbo Ukpai, a 27-year-old, while the body of a yet-to-be -dentified person was found by the riverside on Monday after the clash.

Our correspondent further learnt that in a show of anger, residents of the area set ablaze houses of suspected cultists in the community.


The Ebonyi State Police Command confirmed the incident and hinted that about five persons had been arrested in connection with the incident.

The spokesperson of the Command, Loveth Odah, confirmed the incident to journalists in Abakaliki on Tuesday and said, “On April 28, 2019, there were cult-related activities in Akpoha community by 10 pm.

“The cult clash claimed the life of Ogbo Ukpai, aged 27 years old; while Eze Ikpor, an 18-year-old, was beaten to coma. Residencies of all the cult boys in that village were set ablaze by the villagers. They took laws into their hands by setting the houses ablaze.


“The DPO of Afikpo division said he led a patrol team and SARS and moved into the village. They were able to calm the situation and as I am talking to you, five persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.

“In Ebonyi, we don’t just have communal crises, but also cult-related activities. Everywhere you go in the state, you see almost everybody practicing cultism. What is happening? What benefit does a person practicing cultism have?”

Lawless country

who are the government of Nigeria, Nigerians, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, who constitute the government of Nigeria, we talk as if Nigeria government are imported from Djibouti,

People killing people , people kidnapping people , people scamming people, etc.

Nigeria my country.

Nigeria government does not want to solve cultism because it is mostly southern thing. See the efforts they put to stopZamfara crisis. Still the efforts are not paying off because they are not sincere in solving problems of killings all over the country with the same zeal they use for core north security problems.

How is it my business...

Let them finish themselves there.....


They can wipe themselves out from this earth......Is okay.....



I don't know why Ebonyi loves fighting so much...

From community fight to cults issues...

Ebonyi state wetin be una problem....what is it....


Make una rest for once kwanu.

Death and killings everywhere in Nigeria. These are avoidable deaths.

Good one by the villagers. Burn the houses of the bloody cultists.

Cultism in Ebonyi State is powered by politicians in the state excluding none.

A situation where you can only be recommended for jobs/contracts/appointments only when you have identified the confraternity you belong to is despicable. The gullible youths have refused to learn.
Tufiakwa!

Na my community b dat oooh Mak dem no jus try near wey my Mama dey or

Nice one..The villagers should deal with all of dem..Cultism is not an Igbo or Hausa tin na we Yorubas get am.

Nigerian youths need to be united,instead of bin divided by cultism.
