AT least 21 suspected
cult members were killed by operatives of the Rivers State Anti-Robbery Squad
in Egi community of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area.
A source from the
community explained that the incident happened in the wee hours of Thursday in
a forest located between Egi and Egburu.
It was gathered that
security operatives, who got wind of the hideout of the cultists, stormed the
forest and opened fire on them.
The team that stormed
the bush was said to have left the corpses of the suspected cultists in the
bush while permitting the deceased relatives to get their bodies there.
It will be recalled
that Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni had in recent times been the centre of most cult-related
killings, with scores of people losing their lives before and during the 2015
elections.
