There was pandemonium in Odhiaje community, Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, where suspected Iceland cultists said to be loyal to the late cult leader, David Gift aka 2Baba shot and killed a former Youth leader, Godspower Uwhetu in Odhiaje community, Ahoada East in wee hours of Wednesday morning.
We gathered that the suspected cultists were about five in number led by a fellow of the name Sam invaded the Youth leader’s house at about 1 am on Wednesday, brought him out, and shot him dead in front of his house before they fled.
In an interview with Journalists, Hector Chinem Ekeakita, Former Public Relations Officer of Igbu Akoh Youth Congress said :
“This morning we woke up to hear that a former Youth leader of Odhiaje by the name Godspower Uwhetu was killed by a fellow ”Sam”.
“Earlier before the incident, the mother of Sam held Uwhetu by his clothes, accusing him(Uwhetu) of calling soldiers to raid the house of his Son(Sam) and saying that his Son, Sam is innocent.
“Since that day, Uwhetu has been on the run. He also told his friends that if anything happened to him, Sam should be held responsible.
“Only for us to wake up this morning to notice that Uwhetu has been murdered. This same Sam is one of the 2Baba’s loyalists who escaped death when a security agency attacked their base.
“The people of Igbu Akoh kingdom are still having shocking news of gunshots daily. Last week in the Odieke-Akoh community, some people’s property was vandalized, and their solar lights were vandalized. We are calling on the Sole Administrator and also the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Air Force, the IGP, and the Army residing in Ahoada to swing into action before something gets out of hand.
“This is how it started before my people started crying and also, innocent people dying daily”.
“So, we are calling on the security network in Ahoada to beef up security. we are calling on the Police,JTF and the LGA Administrator, to fish the boys out who does not want to give peace chance in Ekpeye land”.
The Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe Koko, was yet to respond to an enquiry by our reporter at the time of filing this report.
