30 suspected cultists reportedly attacked a police patrol
team at Eyamba Street, Calabar South Local Government Area
of Cross River state at about 9:30p.m on Tuesday, October
11th.
"The attack which reportedly claimed the lives of two
policemen and one cultists also saw two police patrol
vans belonging to Cross River state security outfit,
Operation Skolombo burnt" freelance journalist Inyali
Peter said. See very graphic photos after the cut...
Facebook user Ifere Paul's, who shared the photos wrote:
"There is a renewed war between various factions of
cult groups. It is important to note that these activities
are as a result of the coffin that was paraded round
Calabar to welcome Governor Ben Ayade.
The parade
was sponsored by Ayade appointees. The spiritual
implications of parading a coffin was explicitly talked
about in my previous article titled "Ayade demonizes
Cross River State".
