Seven persons lost their lives while several others were injured following clashes between two cults in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
It was gathered that trouble started on Saturday when members of the Deywell group attacked a member of the rival Deygbam in the Igbodo community, which led to the death of the victim on Sunday.
The source, said residents and business owners in the affected areas were living and working in fear. “So, on Saturday, the Deywell group killed a member of the Degbam at Igbodo around 3pm. That was what warranted the Deygbam boys to go and mobilise and launch their attacks. Two persons were shot at Mba, while four others were also shot at Agbalu.
The source added that business in the area had yet to resume fully as residents and business owners were still afraid.
