For the residents of Bunker, old UNTH Enugu, Wednesday night was like a horror movie as two rival cult groups attacked each other in the area leading to the death of one while another is missing with his blood spread everywhere.
The two cult groups; Ayes and Baggars JOURNALIST101 learnt, unleashed terror on one another which led to the mowing down of a member of Baggars confraternity by Ayes cult group while another member of the Ayes group is still missing with blood suspected to be from him littering the place he was attacked.
An eye witness told our correspondent that it was “horrible incident” in the area last night as they all scampered for safety.
“We were relaxing last night when we heard that someone has just been killed in a place called ‘F-Line’ and there was pandemonium everywhere. “The person killed belongs to Baggars cult group and his assailants were wearing masks.
“His name is Iruka from Ezza area of Ebonyi state and remains has been deposited at Colliery mortuary, Enugu.
“One of Ayes member who allegedly led the attack popularly known as Chibuzo from Nsukka area of Enugu State was traced to his girlfriend’s house in the middle of the night, his girlfriend jumped the fence while the body of Chibuzo is still missing but his blood was found everywhere,” the witness who doesn’t want his name mentioned narrated.
A member of the local vigilante in the area; “Okuiyi Amalgamated Neighborhood Watch” who spoke to us narrated the genesis of the clash.
He said: “What happened yesterday was a result of the protracted cold war between the rival groups. Memebers of Baggars beat up a member of Aye in on one Sunday in July and the Ayes in retaliation, went in their numbers to beat up any member of Baggars on sight.
“The circle continued until the members of Baggers saw this Chibuzo that his body is missing now and beat him to pulp. We even reported these incidents to the police but the boys keep evading arrest.
“It’s these clashes back and forth that gave rise to what happened yesterday and it was purely a revenge mission and painfully, one person has been confirmed dead and we can’t even confirm if the Chibuzo is still alive.”
