yobe policeNo fewer than 30 suspected cultists in an attempt to frustrate the upcoming Ofala festival of His Royal Highness, Igwe Chidubem Iweka and possibly dethrone him on Wednesday threw the Obosi community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State into a state of pandemonium as about five persons got injured in the process.
It was learnt that the alleged cultist where out to enthrone one of their member as an Igwe.
The rampaging cultists’ first victim was the Chairman of Obosi Land Management Council, Mr. Ezeugo Zion, who was allegedly beaten with some machete cut on his skull.
The suspected cultists also injured four other persons who were with Zion at the time of the attack. Two of them where however apprehended while others escaped.
While narrating the incident to newsmen on his hospital bed, Zion said: “Just because I am not their member and I was picked as the chairman of Obosi Land Management Council, the cultists numbering about 30, who have continued to terrorize our community, stormed my office to kill me and they succeeded in cutting my head with a machete.”
Zion claimed that the hoodlums where sent by a community leader, adding that two of the cultists were apprehended with the assistant of the local vigilante group led by one Arthur Ilongwu and the Special Anti-Cult Squad.
“God was so kind, they could not kill me because my land committee members prevented those that were butchering me and four of them were equally injured in the process. I managed to call the police,” he disclosed.
Zion further added that a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police and some wealthy people from the community were behind the attack.
