The sad incident happened during the Onwa Asaa traditional festival of the town.

LEADERSHIP gathered that a gang of suspected cultists driving in a Lexus SUV stormed a restaurant in the community and opened fire at the youths gathered there enjoying themselves drinking and eating.

An eyewitness described the incident as “chaotic,” decrying that the assailants killed about 15 youths in the attack.

Though the source said nobody could immediately fathom the reason for the attack, it was suspected to be cult-related attack.

The incident occurred a few metres away from the Governor’s Lodge, located in the neighbouring Amawbia community.

The public relations officer of the State Police Command (PPRO), SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the attack, saying it was “cult-related”.

SP Ikenga said that the State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Itam, has already deployed a team of Anti-Crime Police to restore peace and order in the area.
