The weekend violence our reporter learnt, occurred as a rival cult group sought to avenge the attack on its members by another cult group, forcing businesses to close and frightened residents to flee their homes.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident, identified a notorious cultist known as ‘Small Lighter’ as among the three persons killed in the clash.
