Five killed in suspected cult clashes in Rivers



At least, five people have been reportedly killed in fresh cult clashes at Omudiogwa community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.

It was gathered that armed cultists invaded Omudioga, Wednesday night in search of members of a rival group, killing at least five people, including one who was beheaded.


Omudioga Youth President, Chinyere Amadi said Ezeka Nwadike and Prince Omata were among those killed.

Amadi said the community has been deserted as inhabitants seek refuge elsewhere in the absence of security operatives.


In another development, one person has been reportedly killed while several others sustained bullet wounds in clashes in Akabuka town in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area.

A source from the community told newsmen that trouble started when a suspected cult leader returned home for the first time after he was granted amnesty by the Rivers State Government.

Our source said the presence of the returnee cult leader sparked an argument between members of his group and a rival gang, which later resulted in sporadic shooting yesterday evening.

Men of Joint Military Task Force have since been deployed in Akabuka town to calm the situation.

US President Elect Donald Trump On Thursday Turn His Attention To Toyota Motor, Threatening To Impose a Hefty Fee On Them If It's Corolla Car For US Market Is Build At Mexico Plant. "Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax," Trump said in a post on Twitter. This was Trump's latest broadside against automakers building cars in Mexico and first against a foreign automaker.

New iPhone screen puts blue-colored spotlight on Japan supplier

The iPhone’s success has transformed the fortunes of dozens of suppliers, from glass manufacturers to the maker of robots that cut metal cases. Now, as Apple Inc. prepares to introduce a new smartphone with an OLED screen, a Japanese refiner better known for its chain of gas stations is about to join the list. Idemitsu Kosan Co. began experimenting with organic light-emitting diodes in the mid-1980s, seeking to reduce its reliance on petroleum after the global oil shock. Now, pick up Google’s latest Pixel smartphone or a Galaxy model from Samsung Electronics Co., and chances are the blue pixels on the OLED screens are built with Idemitsu’s materials or patents. Wider adoption of the advanced displays, which offer crisper images and use less battery power, is putting the spotlight on Japanese suppliers that up until now had virtually no stake in iPhone sales. Canon Tokki Corp., for example, has a near monopoly on the giant vacuum machines capable of making OLED screens. Dai Nippon Print...
