Gunmen suspected to be cultists killed a man on Wednesday
in Obiagu area, Enugu State. According to an eyewitness, the victim,
identified as Ayaka, was in his late 20s. The suspected cultists, armed
with assault riffles, riddled his body with bullets and escaped before
the police arrived.
The
eyewitness reported that sporadic gunshots in the area disrupted
activities as everyone ran for their lives while screaming and shouting.
When the heavily built gunmen, about 10 of them, were done with the
attack, they entered into two different cars, a Sienna and a Camry 2002
model and sped away. They also collected another Camry from a man at gun
point.
When calm was
restored, people started going back to the scene where the shooting took
place and saw the lifeless body which was thrown into a gutter. The
police arrived after some minutes...
Some
residents at the scene however claim that guy they killed was also a
notorious cultist. Spokesman for the Enugu state Police Command, Ebere
Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident, later disclosed that one of the
gunmen was killed, while two others were arrested, in a shootout with
police men.
