Published By admin with Comments 0
Three persons have been killed as suspected cultists attacked Igbogene Community in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The attack on Wednesday night, at about 8.00 pm, is the first in nearly a year after the state government overhauled its security apparatus with the establishment of the Community Security Corps among others.
Numbering about 10, the armed cultists killed Donaldson Mison, 28 years, Addy Mulan, 27 years and Greenboy Dudella, 29 years, all male members of the Igbogene community.
One of the victims is said to be the son of a former head of the community vigilante group.
A community source told PUNCH Metro on Thursday that, “The cult boys, numbering about 10 and armed with dangerous weapons, invaded our community at about 8.00 pm. Many residents escaped to safety and locked their doors.
“The first person shot dead was the son of the former head of the community vigilante group.
“He was shot close to his house. The second person, who was not a cultist, was shot when he could not disclose the whereabouts of his elder brother,” he said.
