Published By admin with Comments 0
A renewed war between some cultists in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, has resulted in the death of a person.
The cultists had suspended their violent clashes for almost a year, but they resumed on Friday.
Sunday PUNCH gathered that commercial activities at Punch Road and nearby streets in Amarata axis of Yenagoa were temporarily grounded on Friday night and early Saturday morning as a cult group went on a revenge mission.
A young man, simply identified as Frank, aka Akiman, was reportedly trailed to Punch Road and shot dead at about 9.00pm on Friday by the suspected rival cult group.
A source said the assailants who were about six shot Frank in the arm and thereafter pursued him to a corner and shot him in the head.
The source said the cultists later shot into the air to disperse residents, causing some people, especially traders to abandon their wares, stores and even kids.
