Rampaging cultists in Obiaruku and Kwale Communities, Delta State,
yesterday in the early hours allegedly killed a pregnant woman and three
others between Ogume and Kwale community.
It was reliably gathered that the cultists are members of the Ake
dreaded confraternity and Vinckies confraternity who allegedly suck
blood during their initiations, as they engaged in rival war.
Eyewitness, Ngozi Adekwe said that the cultists during the melee
allegedly unleashed terror with cut-to-size guns including battle axes
during which a pregnant woman was allegedly hit by spray bullets but
Police Officers at the Obiaruku Police Division who did not want their
names in print said nobody was killed, adding that it was the usual and
recurring decimal of cult war in the area as six suspected members of
the gang believed to be leaders of both cult groups were arrested and
are currently helping the Police in further investigation.
The pregnant woman identified as Mrs. Mary Ossai, our informed
sources said was allegedly hit by stray bullets during the fight of the
cultists where three of their members were killed.
Investigation revealed that Kwale, Ogume, Obiaruku and its environs
have allegedly been hubs for cult groups; a situation the State Police
Command through its Commissioner Alkali Baba Usman said had led to the
arrest of several persons in 2015 saying that it would no longer be
business as usual for any cult group.
