Gunmen have killed five persons in suspected cult-related attacks in Idemili North and Awka South LGAs of Anambra state

The incident occurred on Monday after rival cult groups clashed in Okpuno, Ifite and Obosi communities in the state.

Christian Aburime, chief press secretary to the governor, said one Ike Okolo, president-general of Obosi, was killed by gunmen at a fuel station in the community.

Aburime said four others were murdered in Obi Maduka’s compound within Nodu town Square in Nodu Okpuno.

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of the state, condemned the cult war and killings of residents, adding that the perpetrators will be tracked down and brought to justice.

“The attention of Anambra state government has been drawn to killings within the state as a consequence of cult-related war among rival cult groups in Okpuno, Ifite and Obosi communities,” the statement reads.
