Gunmen suspected to be members of the dreaded Iceland cult group on Monday, killed a pastor and three other persons at Ibaa community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The attack which began at about 7 am in the morning, led to a sporadic shooting that lasted several minutes. Although witnesses termed it a reprisal, most of the victims were said not to be members of any secret cult group.
Several sources who spoke to TPCN said one of the victims was a commercial motorcyclist, popularly known as Okada, Friday Nsirim. The rampaging cultists also killed a hunter identified as Omuobizu.
TPCN gathered that another victim who happened to be a pastor of a church called Teke was also killed because he reportedly makes charms for the Deygbam boys.
