Cultists Kill NDA Undergraduate

Suspected cultists have shot dead an undergraduate of the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, Saviour Enoch.

This blog learnt that Saviour, aged 20, was killed on Saturday about 8pm along Gwegwe/Navy Road at Ovom, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

Saviour, it was gathered, was admitted into the NDA two years ago.

The murdered military cadet, a resident of the Ovom area, was said to be on a holiday in Yenagoa from the NDA when the incident occurred.

The deceased was said to be on the street, having a chat with his visiting friend and Naval Rating with the Central Naval Command when they heard screams from a victim whose bag was snatched by suspected cultists.

Saviour, who was a resident of the area, responded to the cry of help and chased after the suspects.

It was gathered that unknown to him (Saviour), other members of the cult group had hidden somewhere to ward off any rescue attempt and he was shot at a close range.

It was further learnt that immediately they shot him, they all (cultists) disappeared in pandemonium created by the gruesome murder.

The Bayelsa Police spokesperson confirmed the incident to Strategic Media on telephone. He said that 20 persons have been arrested in connection with the matter while investigation is still ongoing.

He promised to get to the root cause of the matter.
