Cult leader, five robbers killed in shootout

A notorious cult leader, identified as General Igbudu, who had been terrorising Ahoada East and its environs in Rivers State, has been killed during a shootout with the police in Rivers State.

Igbudu and five members of his gang were killed during the encounter while robbing some victims on the East-West Road. The cult leader had been fingered as the mastermind of the recent abduction of 14 passengers being conveyed in a bus from Port Harcourt to Omoku in Ogba/Egbema/ Ndoni Local Government Area.
His men also set the bus ablaze but the 14 passengers regained freedom a few days later. The police had declared him wanted three weeks ago for some killings in Ahoada East and for the abduction of the 14 passengers.
According to sources, despite telling friends of his readiness to accept the state government’s amnesty programme, Igbudu refused to embrace it and surrender his weapons.https://newtelegraphonline.com/cult-leader-five-robbers-killed-shootout/
