Gunmen suspected to be cultists have reportedly killed five persons in Agbarho community, Ughelli North council area of Delta state.

Witness disclosed that two rivalry cult groups clashed in the town in the wee hours of Sunday, leaving about five persons dead.
But the president general of Agbarho-Urhobo Improvement Union, Chief Monday Igho-Odiphri, said he cannot ascertain the number of casualties but confirmed that there was a cult clash that claimed lives.
He, however, said security operatives including local vigilante have been deployed to the area to curtail any spread of the crisis and fish out the perpetrators.
Igho-Odiphri, said the incident is not connected to the arson attack on the palace of the Osuivie of Agbarho kingdom last week.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the killings, saying investigation is ongoing.
Meanwhile, as of press time, a military van loaded with soldiers have been drafted to scene along Ekwere Road, close to the popular Five Junction in the suburban community to quell any further unrest.
