Unknown gunmen, on Friday night, allegedly killed two ‘Ebubeagu‘ security operatives at Ebebe junction, Abakaliki capital city, while many others sustained bullet injuries.

The Trumpet gathered that the unknown gunmen stormed the area between 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm with two motorcycles, covered their faces and started shooting sporadically at their targeted victims.

Investigation revealed that the killing of the said victims may be linked to issues of rival cult clashes ravaging some parts of the State.

An eyewitness (name withheld), who spoke to The Trumpet said: “We heard repeated gunshots at Ebebe junction. We do hear gunshots at Ebebe junction, but last night own was different.

“Unknown gunmen had a clash with Ebubeagu security operatives last night.”

“We heard that three persons were shot by the unknown gunmen, but we are sure that one person was confirmed dead on the spot. The killing of the said persons is also linked to rival cult clashes,” the source noted.
