Breaking News: Cult war claims Pastor Friday Isinwa in Imo

www.odogwublog.com reports that palpable fear has engulfed Umuhuo community in Ikwerrede-Awara in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo state following the discovery of the lifeless body of Pastor Friday Isinwa, who had been missing for two days. 

Isinwa was a Pastor at the Seven Days Church of God, within Ohaji/Egbema local government area of the State.

Trouble began after Isinwa failed to return from his farm at the weekend, which made the villagers organize a search party. The father of four who doubled as a Farmer had gone to one of his farmlands to harvest cassava when he was allegedly attacked by suspected cultists who murdered him after striping him naked.

After he failed to return and no call made demanding a ransom, the search party's intensified their search, only to discover his remains near a pipeline, stripped of his clothing's.

A source within the community, Kingsley told The Authority Daily that the community has been on its edge since Isinwa failed to return home last Saturday.

Kingsley said "it was his family that alerted the villagers and a search party was immediately constituted. They also continued the search on Sunday and Monday before his corpse was discovered". 

We are protesting this inhuman act, we want the government and security agencies to help us solve this problem in our community once and for all. We can't continue to live in fear and under the terrorism of some young men who have chosen to be thorns on our flesh", Kingsley lamented. 

There has been a battle of supremacy between rival cult groups 

Iceland and Deygbam confraternities which had defied police solutions since 2012, and has claimed many lives, caused destruction of properties including farmlands. 

At a point, it was so bad that villagers embarked on self imposed exile, so as to remain alive and safe.

Meanwhile, efforts to reach the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Andrew Enwerem proved abortive as he was unable to confirm the development.
