The Akwa Ibom State Police have verified the demise of one person and the arrest of two individuals after a suspected confrontation between the Black Axe Confraternity and the Klansmen Confraternity in the Eket Local Government Area (LGA).
MacDon Odiko, the police spokesperson in Akwa Ibom, affirmed this information during an interview held in Eket on Tuesday.
“We have received a report of the cult incident from Eket. We confirm the death of one person and two arrests,” he said.
Mr Odiko said the police commissioner, Waheed Ayilara, had ordered a thorough investigation.
“Let those who are perpetrating this act get it very clear. The CP has directed that those involved, as well as their sponsors, be fished out.
“Cultism cannot be allowed to thrive in the state. The CP is not happy about it,” the spokesperson said.
