AT least, three persons were killed during a cult clash in Bane and Kpaa, two Ogoni communities in the Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

While two persons lost their lives in Bane, another person, a young woman, was killed in Kpaa community during the cult clash which happened on Sunday morning.

It was gathered that one of the cultists, who had not been identified, was beheaded after being shot.

The Caretaker Committee Chairman of Khana Local Government Area, Mr. Hyacinth Nwiye, confirmed the development.

Explaining that the motive behind the constant cult clashes in the area remained unknown, Nwiye said the headless body of one of those killed during the clash had been taken to the mortuary.

“When I heard about the incident, I quickly called the police to find out what happened. I later went there and discovered that the corpses had been brought to the police station.

“I went with them to the mortuary where the corpses were deposited. I later discovered that one of the cultists that participated in this nefarious act was shot dead and beheaded.

“His head was taken away. The headless body has been taken to the mortuary,” the council chairman said.

When contacted, the state assistant Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, explained that though she was aware of the incident, the Divisional Police Officer of the area had yet to brief her on the clash.
