Men of the Nigeria Police Force “B” Division in Warri on Monday February 4 at about 9pm killed a suspected cultist along Okere – Ugborikoko Road in Okumagba Lay – out shortly after 2 suspected cultist were killed in a clash between rival cult groups at Ejewor Street, near Polokor Market same evening.
An eyewitness told Fresh Angle that the suspected cultist and his gang numbering about 50 were on rampage by Maduku Street junction along Okere – Ugborikoko Road when men of the “B” Division of the Nigerian Police Force who were on a routine patrol shot sporadically into the air to scare the cultists. But the cultists were not perturbed, they even attempted engaging the police in physical combat with battle axe, daggers and cutlasses, in the process the police allegedly shot one of them dead and moved away with his corpse, while the other cultists scampered for safety.
Fresh Angle gathered that prior to the death of the suspected cultist, he and members of his gang terrorized Ejewor, Okoyibo, Ejemudaro and Okolobe streets, stealing from residents of these areas before he met his sudden death at about 9:17pm on the fateful day.
Fresh Angle also gathered that prior to the death of the suspected cultist, 2 others were also killed in a rival cult clash at Ejewor Street.
Fresh Angle could not ascertain the veracity of the name of the two cult groups involved in the clash, but a resident in the area who does not want his name in print said the clash is between the Black Axe and Vikings confraternities.
Efforts to speak with the police at “B” Division in Warri same night on the issue were unsuccessful as they were very hostile.
