|By Babatunji Wusu –

Gunmen, believed to be cultists, killed a vigilante group member from the Obele community in Rivers State’s Emohua Local Government Area on Wednesday night. The victim, an ONELGA Security Peace and Advisory Committee member, was specifically targeted in the attack.

The assailants also set fire to the home of a former local councillor and injured at least four people. One survivor, Eze, recounted that he and his brother were inside when gunshots and approaching motorcycles alerted them. Accusing them of being police informants, the attackers opened fire, leaving both men wounded.
