Cult Violence in Yenagoa: Mutilated Body Found in Sack

In Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, a suspected cult member was found dead and mutilated inside a sack at Obele Junction, abandoned near a First City Monument Bank (FCMB) (NGX: FCMB) branch. The incident occurred on Monday night, with the body discovered on Tuesday morning.

The deceased, whose identity remains unknown, was suspected of switching allegiance from the Greenlanders cult group to a rival faction known as the Bobos. He was allegedly accused of orchestrating an attack that resulted in the death of a member of his former group, which was seen as a test of loyalty.

Angered by this betrayal, members of the Greenlanders reportedly lured him out with the help of a woman before attacking him with machetes. The gruesome discovery has instigated fear among residents in Yenagoa, particularly in areas like Sand Road, Aritalin, GweGwe, and Obele, who are now concerned about potential retaliatory violence from rival cult groups.
