Sapele has, in recent times, turned into a war front as over 10 persons have been killed as a result of rival cult clashes in the last month.

The mission of the armed bandits is still sketchy, no one could ascertain who the operation was targeted at.

A witness said trouble started on Tuesday evening, June 21, 2022, when the unknown gunmen shot at the people sitting and buying items in a store along Shell Road in Sapele.

According to the witness, though there were several persons in the store including three other men and those who died, it could not be ascertained whether the three others were hit by bullets from the assassins.
