| One of the dead bodies being recovered from River Niger |
Lokoja, the Kogi state capital was thrown into pandemonium Monday
night, when two rival cult groups clashed, leaving at least 8 persons dead,
many of whose dead bodies were recovered from inside the river
Niger. Young boys withing the ages of 20-25 freely display guns, machetes and axes.
It was insinuated that “boys” were imported from Warri, to
prosecute the dastard attacks, which was sparked off based on information that
a member of the rival cult groups went about exposing a recent robbery
activities of its rival group, pointing houses of perpetrators to the police. Details
are quite sketchy at the moment but parents are advised to keep their wards
from staying out late at night and if possibly avoid spots like Kabawa, Karaworo,
cantonment and Adankolo.

It would be recalled that some time in January, 2 persons
were killed at Ganaja village
of Lokoja when the Eye
and the Elebe cult group clashed, destroying properties and maiming many. The residents
of Lokoja and the police authority need to be on red alert, as the spate of cult
clash within its metropolis is taking another dimension. People are to report
suspicious persons or movement to the nearest police station.
More to come.
