Rivers community under siege as Cultists massacre eight Vigilante members

Recent declaration by the Inspector General of Police, (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, that local vigilante groups should operate without arms, has led to grave consequences, according to the Spokesman of Onelga Security Planning and Advisory Committee, OSPAC, Felix Nwaobakata.

Nwaobakata said cultists operating in the area, had reportedly killed over eight of its members within a month. The group urged the IGP, to rescind on his decision to withdraw arms from local vigilante groups, noting that they have been living at the mercy of cultists who still have their guns and operating without caution. Reiterating that the daredevil cultists are operating without any resistance and innocent lives are at stake if urgent actions are not taken.
