Gunmen Kill Two, Shoot Two Other Women In Rivers Community

Unknown gunmen suspected to be cultists have reportedly killed two persons at Luubara community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The gunmen were said to have stormed the community, last Tuesday night, and shot sporadically to scare away residents.
À native of the community, Nwibani Barry, who spoke to The Tide on phone, explained that the gunmen invaded the community at about 8pm, and went to a beer parlour near the market square where they shot at the victims.
Nwibani disclosed that two men, whose names were given as Timothy Baridapo and Bariyaa, died at the spot while two ladies who sustained gunshot injuries were taken to the hospital by the Divisional Police Officer at the Bori Division.
He called on relevant security agencies to come to the aide of the community to avoid further loss of lives.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but it was not also clear if the dead victims were members of any cult group(s) in the area.
A source disclosed that the gunmen may be members of a cult group who were in search of their rivals.
When contacted, the spokesperson of Rivers State Police Command, SP Nnamdi Omoni, in his response, said he has not received full brief on the report, just as he confirmed that the incident did take place.
