The Vice Chairman of Obelle Council of Chiefs in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State has been shot dead. The victim was reportedly killed on Saturday during a meeting of local chiefs at Omuwoka village. Joseph Eze Dabiri, the second son of the slain chief, confirmed the killing “I heard that a guy came with a gun while my father was in a meeting at Omuwoka village in Obelle, shot at him twice and fled,” Joseph said. He added that the matter has been reported to the Rumuji Police Division and appealed to authorities to ensure justice is served. According to eyewitnesses, the peace of the gathering was shattered when suspected members of the Iceland cult group, allegedly led by a notorious figure known as Cairo, stormed the venue on motorbikes. The incident has thrown residents of the community into mourning. Cairo reportedly alighted from a bike, walked directly up to Chief Dabiri, pulled out a firearm, and shot him at close range—twice—before fleeing the scene. The assailant reportedly confirmed his victim was dead before making his escape. The sudden violence caused pandemonium as other chiefs scrambled for safety. By nightfall, reports indicated that some residents had begun fleeing the community for fear of further attacks.
