A cult initiation in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State, on December, 27th, 2018, turn out sour as it led to the death of a new convert, named, Miracle.

The Council Headquarters residents in Sankwala, woke up early hours of December, 28th to a gory picture of Miracle, a native of Bayanung, Basang Clan, who had died in the course of his initiation rites of the fraternity.
He died as a result of severe cuts to his body and head.

Four persons have already been arrested by Obanliku Divisional Police Headquarters, Sankwala, and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department Headquarters, at Diamond Hills, Calabar, that included an Evangelist, whose nephew was involved in the initiation rituals and unknown to him, the boy came around and passed the night in his uncle’s house, only for the Evangelist to know what transpired the night before.

Efforts by Community leaders and elder brother of the Evangelist, to exonerate his younger brother from his son’s atrocities, proved abortive. Hence, the Police and the Military personnel that have gone to arrest the said cultist from his uncle’s house had escaped.
