Barely four days after 17 persons were killed in an early morning attack in Rivers State, five persons have been reportedly killed in Egbeda, a community in Emohua Local Government Area of the state.
This was as a result of the attack carried out by suspected cultists which also left an unconfirmed number of persons injured while it was gathered that the attack had to do with cult rivalry.
The cultists wore black trousers and T-shirts with red caps but escaped when they noticed that some soldiers were trailing them through the bush in Egbeda.
Confirming the incident at Egbeda, the State Police Commissioner, Mr. Ahmed Zaki, told newsmen that one person was killed in Unyeada in Andoni Local Government Area of the state.
Zaki explained that the hoodlums, who shot and killed one person in Egbeda, came on motorcycles, adding that security had been beefed up in the area.
THEWILL recalls that Rivers has come under serious security threat in recent times as 17 persons were recently killed during an attack by gunmen in the state.
