Cultist Burn Community Over Beer Parlour Disagreement

A beer parlour disagreement has resulted into a communal crisis at Umuobi Ikwerede in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo state following dangerous activities of rival cult groups in the area.

A man simply known as Abacha, was killed on Sunday by a rival group, whole several houses and personal effects have either been burnt, destroyed or looted  by anotherr cult group said to be on a revenge mission.

An eye witness report says, “ all I can recall now, is that a group of boys came into a beer parlour in the village and were enjoying themselves. Their presence did not spark off any suspicion, but not long after, an argument ensued and sadly degenerated into a fight.”

The eye witness continued saying that before people at the scene could decipher what was really the issue, one of the cultist stabbed on Abacha with a broken bottle which led to his death. As the news of Abacha death spread like wildfire in the area, his own group quickly mobilized and unleashed terror and mayhem in the town burning houses and destroying property.
