Nine persons were killed following a cult clash between rival groups in Ikata, Upata kingdom in Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State.

It was learnt that the two factions in the community, who exchanged gunfire due to a disagreement, caused panic in the area.

A community source who pleaded anonymity said the incident caused panic in the area, as some residents scampered to safety.

“Most people ran to avoid being hit by stray bullets, while some remain indoors. Business owners hurriedly closed their shops and stores to avoid being caught by stray bullets,” he stated.

The spokesperson of the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident, saying an investigation was ongoing.
