Den of cultists raided in Rivers Nigeria by troops

The JTF Delta Safe Deputy Coordinator, Joint Media Campaign Centre (JMCC), Lt.-Com. Thomas Otuji, has said that in Rivers State, troops of Sector 3 raided the den of cultists in Finima, Bonny following a distress call that the hoodlums were terrorizing the community with AK47 rifles.

He said the kingpin of the cultists identified as Eagle Face, on sighting the troops, dived into the water, adding that two days after his lifeless body was seen by the locals floating in the creeks.

According to Otuji, the locals retrieved the body and buried it at Bonny River bank.

But he said that two of the suspected cult members were arrested with one locally made pistol, a machete and two handsets.

Otuji said the acting Commander, Brig.-Gen. Kevin Aligbe, praised members of the public for their continuous cooperation and provision of timely information to the troops.

He said Aligbe reassured residents and oil companies operating in the region particularly the people of Southern Cross River of their safety and urged them to go about their legitimate businesses.

“Operation Delta Safe has the full backing of the Federal Government to bring sanity to the Joint Operation Area within its rules of engagement”, Otuji said.
