Killings by suspected cultists took a dangerous dimension in Delta State when  a  youth alleged to belong to a rival cult group was shot to death at close range around 2:30pm on his bed at Ugbori community in Warri.

The dead youth whose name was given as Ekpo Kperegbeyi is alleged to be a  cultist whose boss was killed two weeks ago at the Merogun axis of Warri.

Sources further revealed that late Ekpo was prevailed upon to run away from town for this own safety but he refused until he met his death.

It was further alleged the Ekpo’s group has executed a revenge mission at Ubeji Community axis where four youths were killed last week.

Eyewitness account said the assailants of Mr. Ekpo came in an Ash coloured Toyota Camry (Spider) car and zoomed off after executing their mission successfully.

Meanwhile, Police officers from “A” Division Headquarters Warri arrived at the scene and took away the corpse at precisely 3:10pm with the assistance of Chief Mike Odeli, the Olorogun of Warri Kingdom.
