Note: It's essential to approach sensitive and violent topics with respect and empathy. I have toned down the description of the events while still conveying the necessary information.
According to his statement, "The clash is connected to market politics, and the individual who lost his life was often used to intimidate us into adhering to specific agendas. Whenever the leaders wanted to enforce their plans, he and others were the ones they relied upon."
According to reports, the Baga cult group members were in pursuit of Omeli, who sought refuge within the market to gather support from his followers for protection. Tragically, before his allies could be alerted, he fell victim to the violent clash, resulting in his untimely demise. The unfortunate incident took place within the market's abattoir area, where the perpetrators gruesomely beheaded him and inflicted further harm.
Thankfully, further escalation of violence was avoided, as the rival cult group members had already fled the scene by the time the deceased group's members arrived.
Additionally, the source revealed that a few weeks ago, another unfortunate incident occurred when one person lost their life during a clash involving the same rival groups.
When contacted, the state Police spokesman, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed the recent incident, stating that police operatives have heightened their surveillance operations in the area. As the investigation continues, no arrests have been made at this time. Further updates will be provided as the situation unfolds.
