According to him, the incident which took place on Monday morning, claimed two lives.  

Here's what he said; 

“This morning (yesterday) the two cult groups terrorising Amadi-Ama held the area hostage for hours shooting before the police came. As they were shooting two people died. But I don’t know whether they are cult boys.” 

Meanwhile, Mr Nnamdi Omoni, the Public Relations Officer of the state Police Command, confirmed the development, adding that normalcy has since been restored in the area. Omoni noted that no life was lost in the incident between the two cult groups. 

“We are aware of the unfortunate usual senseless act of war of supremacy between the Icelander and Greenlander cult groups at Amadi-Ama.

“We were alerted and we mobilised to the scene, but on getting there the bad boys fled. The police are on their trail. We have restored normalcy in the area.
