Cultists clash in Bayelsa, kill Deputy House Clerk

 

                 Supremacy battle between two cult groups broke out in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Saturday night and led to the killing of the Deputy Clerk of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Joephrey Nemina.
                The Nation gathered that Nemina was hit by a stray bullet in front of his wife’s shop along Agudama Road.
                  He was reportedly rushed to an undisclosed hospital where he was confirmed dead.
A source who spoke in confidence described Nemina as a victim of circumstance, adding that he was full of life when he got to a supermarket owned by his wife.

He said the incident happened between 7:30pm and 8:00pm on Saturday.
“The cult members started shooting suddenly. Their gunshots lasted for some minutes and caused panic in the area. The man who died knew nothing about the clash. He was standing in front of his wife’s shop where a stray bullet hit him,” the source said.
But another source claimed that a group of gunmen ambushed Nemina when he was leaving his wife’s shop with a bag containing some money.
The source who also spoke in confidence said the gunmen shot him and fled without stealing the bag.
He said Nemina must have been a victim of assassination.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Butswat Asinim, confirmed the report, but said the deceased was a victim of stray bullet.
