cult groups have been on the neck of one another for several years, maiming and

Investigations revealed that the
deceased Ndubuisi had been on the wanted list of the other rival cult group for
over two years, he absconded from the town over an alleged involvement in

the said Ndubuisi Eze sneaked into Nsukka having fled Enugu where it is alleged
that Vikings cult group and Black Axe held sway for days, unknown to him that
the other rival group had ambushed him at Nsukka.
Investigations further revealed that
Ndubuisi had gone to charge his phone but on his way back to his house around
7pm , a group of fierce- looking men shot him. Sensing danger, he
reportedly ran with the gun shot wound. The gang, in a hot chase, followed him to

gain admission this year and was killed in front of their compound.
The alleged killer cult group while
fleeing entered a popular drinking joint “Casablanca” at Odenigwe area where
students were watching football and shot severally into the air while students
and residents of the area scampered from pillar to post to escape from the
scene while the group collected all the handsets that were charged as that
