According to a reliable source in the community who pleaded anonymity hinted that, “l am surprised when this innocent woman was killed again when we are still in sorrow of the first person that was killed, this issue of cult Activities has paralysed our community”
Speaking further, the source said: “As you can see, the whole community is now empty, many people have run away for the fear of unknown even as l am speaking with you now, l am also in fear so we are calling on the state, and the local government council to come to our aid”.
However, all efforts to reach the community leaders, Chairman of Ethiope East council, Hon. Victor Ofobrukweta and the House of Assembly member for Ethiope East Constituency, Hon. Innocent Anidi to comment this development failed as none of them could not be reached. However, a source posited that they are working to salvage the situation to ensure that such act will not repeat itself for the interest of peace and harmony.
