Nationnewslead reports that Three persons were killed at the weekend in Ibaa, a community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Sources blamed the banned Ibaa Security Planning and Advisory Committee (ISPAC) for the killings, but the security outfit denied the allegation, saying that the deceased died in a cult war.
A youth from the area said ISPAC members killed the three persons when they invaded the community, adding that several other persons were missing after the incident.
He called on Governor Nyesom Wike to intervene.
He said: “As it stands now youths of the community are living in fear. These ISPAC boys that have been banned came into the community last week and killed over three boys.”
The Secretary of ISPAC, Aleru Livingstone, denied involvement in the development saying that a cult war was responsible for the incident.
