At least three persons have been feared killed during suspected rival cult groups clashed in Awka, Anambra State capital, on Sunday.
According to The PUNCH, sources in the area said two tricycles were pursuing themselves recklessly along Ziks Avenue, Eke Awka before one of them got stuck.
One of the sources said, “Some boys alighted from the tricycle and started pursuing themselves and in the process started firing gunshots.
“They were pursuing themselves. At around Eke Awka market, the tricycle at the front got stuck in the traffic, and one boy inside it alighted and started running.
“Two boys in the tricycle behind also jumped down and pursued him. He ran towards Parker area along Ziks Avenue, and diverted onto a road by the right, into a mechanic workshop.
“The boys pursued him into the place, dragged him out and shot him dead. The incident caused pandemonium, and people were just running in all directions. For me, I didn’t even know I could run that fast.”
Although, the Police authorities, have however denied knowledge of any killing.
However, the Spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said there was no such information before the command.
