The Orashi National Congress, ONC, comprising Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Abua/Odual, Ahoada West and Ahoada East LGAs has raised an alarm over renewed gang violence in the area which has resulted to the killing of nine persons.
The President of ONC, Comrade Emeni Ibe, in a statement.
According to him, the killings were as a result of a cult supremacy clash, stating that their activities are fast spreading to all parts of Ahoada.
He said: “The renewed cult activities, killing and kidnapping is not what we are expecting at this time.
“Within two weeks, about nine persons have been killed in Edeoha, Upata. Edeoha is about five people, Ihuoro is three, and Iheaba two.
“We understand that it is cultism. Some of the cultists who are unrepentant are showing their supremacy.
