Over 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.
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".
