A 30-year-old man has reportedly lost his life after he was beheaded by suspected cultists in Sagbama town, Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The deceased, identified as Honest Mathew aka Onions was killed on Wednesday following a cult clash between Icelanders, Greenlanders and Bobos cult groups, Daily Post reports.
It was gathered that the killer cult group sneaked into Sagbama town in the early hours of Wednesday and invaded the home of the deceased, where they beheaded him and went away with his head.
A community source, however, claimed the deceased was dragged away from his wife and three children before he was killed.
According to the source, “We gathered he was shouting but the guys slit his throat and cut off his head. When we woke up in the morning, we discovered the headless body of the victim.
“Upon further search for the missing head, we discovered it hung on a pole at the center of the town. We were later told it is a clear message of war against their rival which the deceased also belonged.”
Confirming the incident, the spokesman of the State Police Command, SP Asinim Butswat, said “On the 09/03/2022 at about 0200 hours Police Operatives were informed that a suspected cultist, one Honest Martin 30 years, was found outside his house at Sagbama Community beheaded by the suspected rival cult group. Police operatives evacuated the corpse to St Luke Mortuary Sagbama. Investigation is ongoing,” he said.
