Anambra: Cultists On Rampage In Ogidi, Kill Community Leader Over Member's Death by adenigga(op): 1:53pm On Feb 07
Armed men suspected to be members of Neo-Black Movement cult, popularly known as Aye on Friday evening went on rampage in Ogidi community of Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

DAILY POST gathered that the cultists who attacked the community injured many indigenes, while also killing the President General of the community, Chief Ikwuka Okoye and one other unidentified person.

The attack has been linked to the killing of a known member of the Aye cult, popularly known as Emma Amasco, whose age was given as 25 years old.

Amasco, a cultist and petty robber, was said to have operated all through Monday and Tuesday in Onitsha, robbing unsuspecting persons of their phones.


On Wednesday, he re[ortedly took over 18 phones and laptops to Sir Emeka Offor Plaza in Onitsha to sell them off, before he was apprehended.

He was later brought back to Ogidi on the request of the traditional ruler and the now deceased President General, who had insisted on expelling cultism and violent crimes in the town.

On interrogation, he was said to have confessed to having killed a total of 48 people since he began operation. He was said to have also named some prominent people in the community whose killing he participated in. He, however, died in circumstances that were not so clear, leading his members to vow revenge on the community.

Chief Ikwuka, who has been described as a popular leader in the town was on Friday evening felled by the men. Details of how he was killed have not been made known as of the time of this report.

Meanwhile, police authorities in Anambra have confirmed his killing, vowing to go after the killers.

The Anambra State Police Command in a press release by its spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, commiserated with the community, reiterating the link between the murder of the President General and the recent capture and killing of a known notorious cultist within the community, Emma Amasco.

The release said: “Following the report, police operatives swiftly took over the scene of the incident and commenced investigations. The Command is currently working with eyewitness accounts and other available intelligence to identify and arrest the perpetrators.

“The Anambra State Police Command assures members of the public that all efforts are being intensified to bring those responsible to justice. Residents are urged to remain calm and cooperate with the police as investigations continue.”

Soludo should tackle insecurity in Anambra as PO did during his tenures.

Forcing people to open their shops on Mondays will not improve insecurity.

The pandora criminal con artist, full-time merchant of empty rhetoric, and undisputed lamba king of Agulu Land, will not so much as blink at the decay festering in his own backyard. Rot can deepen, roofs can collapse, and silence remains his chosen philosophy.

Yet let a mosquito so much as clear its throat in Kano or Lagos, and suddenly he is convening an international press conference, solemnly addressing the global community on mosquito management. It is a curious moral logic, blindness at home, binoculars abroad.

These cult killings in Anambra which some times are tagged as unknown gunmen activities has to stop,how long will the Bla*k Ax*(NBM) and Vikings reign of blood in Anambra go on and yet they authorities seems not to be doing much to nip it in the bud. For years these two groups have shamelessly wasted they lives of their members in an attempt to proof superiority and most annoyingly,some innocent citizens have fallen victim to this bloody act.
Soludo must step up,these guys must as soon as possible be rounded up. Enough is enough.

Alot has derailed in Nigeria, Nbm movement has become petty thieves and armed robbery syndicate,a senior bro of mine was telling me how he got admission into uniben then with the help of a cultist who was the best performing student in the department although he later didn't resume but now what we have are phone thieves and Igbo smoker.

he was caught in onitsha. Why not hand him over to police in onitsha instead of taking him back to ogidi? Though onitsha and ogidi are close by, but he should have been handed over to the police in onitsha
