Gunmen suspected to be cultists have reportedly killed two persons in Agbarho community, Ughelli North council area of Delta state.
Witness disclosed that two rival cult groups clashed in the town in the wee hours of Sunday, leaving two persons dead.
But the president general of Agbarho-Urhobo Improvement Union, Mr. Monday Igho-Odiphri, said he would not ascertain the number of casualties, but confirmed that there was a cult clash that claimed lives.
He, however, said security operatives including a local vigilance group have been deployed to the area to curtail any spread of the crisis and fish out the perpetrators.
Igho-Odiphri said the incident is not connected to the arson attack on the palace of the Osuivie of Agbarho kingdom last week.
Meanwhile, as of press time, a military van with soldiers has been drafted to the scene along Ekwere Road, close to the popular Five Junction in the suburban community to quell any further uprising.
