Suspected cultists shot and killed the zonal commander of a local security outfit codenamed the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area Security Planning and Advisory Committee in Omoku, the headquarters of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, identified as Ozomela Stephen Nwaocha, on Tuesday evening.
It was gathered on Wednesday that three women, including the commander’s sister, who were with him during the attack, were shot dead by the suspects.
The assailants reportedly attacked the vigilante commander while he was relaxing outside his compound with the women along Oba Road in Omoku.
It was suspected that the killing might have been a reprisal following a violent clash linked to a community dispute.
