90year old Man Burnt to death as Cultists Set his Home Ablaze - Mhiz Rebecca - 08-30-2018
Some suspected cult members have killed a 90-
year-old man after setting his house ablaze. The
incident was said to have happened in Egbeda
community in the Emohua Local Government Area
of Rivers State on Tuesday.
The victim, who was identified as Assor Woke, was
killed in his house by the assailants.
Sources said the incident caused panic in the
community as indigenes could not ascertain the
reason the old man was killed.
Woke was said to be the oldest man in the area and
had always preached peace in the community
before his demise.
The Chairman of Egbeda Community Development
Committee, Ukwoha Omereji, condemned the
killing of Woke and described it as worrisome.
Ukwoha explained that leaders in the area had
been meeting to ensure that peace reigned in the
community
“The reason for the killing is still unknown. The
man was over 90 years old,” Ukwoha said.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public
Relations Officer, Nnamdi Omoni, said the oldest
man in the community died when two rival cults
clashed in the community and set houses ablaze.
