Cultists abduct six in Rivers community

Gunmen, suspected to be cultists, have abducted six persons in Edeoha community in Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State. 

This came barely a month after gunmen attacked the area and killed some persons. According to reports, the suspected cultists stormed the community on Friday evening, and went after their targets, including a chief, a man and wife, among other victims.
A source said those abducted included Chief Leo Ahamefula, Mrs. Abule, Mr. and Mrs. Success Nwanodi, Nenka Atomic and Mrs. Natty. In early May, gunmen attacked Ulu-Akpata and Edeoha communities in Ahoada East and killed about 11 persons before setting them on fire in two separate attacks.
A source said that there were no security operatives when the gunmen attacked Edeoha, explaining that soldiers had been deployed in the area in the aftermath of the May attack by suspected cultists. When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ahmad Mohammad, said he was not aware of the incident.https://newtelegraphonline.com/cultists-abduct-six-rivers-community/
