According to the Rivers State Police Command, on Sunday night, a gunfight in the Udebu community of the state’s Ahoada East Local Government Area resulted in the deaths of three suspected cultists.
ANAEDOONLINE When the police invaded the area, it was discovered by Metro that members of the Greenland and Iceland cult organizations terrorizing the Ahoada East and West Local Government Areas had gathered for a battle for supremacy.
Three people were killed after the operatives, acting on a tip-off, responded to shots fired at them when they arrived at the area around 5 o’clock.
A local source informed our correspondent that the head of one of the gangs and other individuals were wounded by gunfire but managed to flee.

The source said, “After they opened fire on the men from the Ahoada Police Division, one of the cultists called Bright and two others were killed.
“But one man who is a gang leader and two others escaped with injuries because the police shot them.”
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added that one locally-fabricated G-3 rifle, a locally-fabricated pistol which uses AK-47 ammunition, charms and other weapons were recovered from the suspects.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident.
Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police, said, “Yes I can confirm that three cultists were killed. The cultists were engaging in a supremacy battle when we (the police) received credible information and mobilised our men.
“Three of them were neutralised. An investigation is still on to apprehend other gang members and ensure that they face the law.”
