No fewer than eight people have been gunned down in Ibaa community in Emohua Local Government Area in Rivers State on Friday.

It was gathered that four of the victims were beheaded and their severed heads taken away by the rampaging cultists.

A source in the community, who preferred to speak on condition of anonymity, noted that the cultists invaded the community in reprisal.

The source noted that Deygbam cultists visited the community around 3am to avenge the death of their member, who was killed by the Icelanders last month.
