Gunmen suspected to be cultists on Wednesday, invaded the Ubeta community in Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State and killed three persons.
The killing comes barely seventy-two hours after two Shop owners, Chimezie Nagbo and one other were kidnapped in the community on Monday.
Paramount Ruler of Ubeta community, Chief Million Jonathan, in an interview with our Correspondent confirmed the incidents.
Chief Jonathan disclosed that not all the three persons killed are cultists, explaining that the two shop owners who were kidnapped are neighbours , saying that the kidnappers are yet to make contact with the community or family members of their victims.
Chief Jonathan claimed that the incident has been happening for months,noting that many natives have deserted the community .
The Paramount Ruler stated that some of the Youth perpetrating the act sworn an oath before now but they are surprised that some of them went back to their old ways.
Chief Jonathan maintained that the community is willing to train any of the warring Youth in skill acquisition if the person shuns criminality while calling on the Government to come to their aide.
When contacted Spokesperson Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko said no official report has been made to the Police on the incident.
