On Sunday in Awka, the capital city of Anambra State, individuals thought to be members of a cult killed a guy who had mental impairments and dismembered his body.
The deceased, a well-known figure in Zik Avenue, Awka, was reportedly attacked when he was at his usual station in Dike Park, according to a reliable source.
“The alleged members of the cult fired numerous shots at him, but none of them penetrated him. After every attempt failed, they tried stabbing him. When he finally gave up, they chose to stone him and used cutlasses on him, according to the informant, who also said that the men fled right away.
It was believed that the deceased’s prior engagement in a cult before developing a mental condition was the reason that the cultists targeted him. It was unclear why they did it, though.
