A suspected cultist was reportedly shot dead in a supremacy battle between rival groups in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

The incident occurred at the Gambia Street axis in Mile 2 Diobu, where members of the Castle and BloodStar houses of the Deebam cult group clashed.

Eyewitnesses claimed that the victim was attacked with machetes and shot in the head.

Sources reveal that the deceased’s cult group members took his corpse, while another suspected cultist was seen seeking medical help for machete cuts.

A resident of the area reported that the cult group whose member was killed regrouped to launch a revenge attack but dispersed upon noticing the presence of the Octopus Strike Force unit of the Nigeria Police.

The Rivers State Police Command has yet to confirm the incident, but multiple security sources have verified the renewed cult clash in Diobu.
