Tragic Death Of A Cult Member Who Died While Testing Anti-Bullet Charm
It was a sad tale of a suspected cult member in Gboko Local Government
Area of Benue State, Kator Tsegba, who was at the weekend killed by his
colleagues during an initiation/charm test, which he reportedly failed.
The cultist met his death while testing his bulletproof charm after
consuming a concoction which failed him during their usual assembly at
Ihungwanor in Mbayion District of Gboko Local Government Area.
A source from the area said that out of shock, a Tsegba’s relation, who is
also a cultist, after he got wind of the incident, raised the alarm which
attracted the attention of the police.
Our correspondent, who was in the area observed that as a result of the
incident, residents of Gboko and its environs were now living in fear as the
new Divisional Police Officer in charge of Gboko A Division, SP Dooiyor
Fatmann, was going about with his anti-cultism team in search of the culprits.
It was learnt that, already, about 13 suspected cult members had been
arrested while 12 of them were remanded at the Gboko Prison.
A Gboko-based motorcyclist, Mr. Nathaniel Shaku, told our correspondent
that the cultists, while performing their rituals, killed the victim, prompting
the swift intervention of the police.
Efforts to reach the DPO proved abortive, but a source closed to him
quoted him as commending Gboko Local Government chairperson, Mrs. Becky Orpin,
traditional rulers and the youth for their cooperation in the fight against the
crime.
The source, however, disclosed that the DPO was finding it tough with some
parents of the suspected cultists.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Moses Yamu, did not pick
his calls to get more details of the incident.
