A Policeman was reportedly shot dead during an exchange of fire between two rival cult groups at Amadiama area of Port Harcourt, yesterday.
Community sources who spoke to the Vanguard, said the cult groups had been involved in battle of supremacy in the area for about two months.
The sources said the clash caused panic in the area as residents ran for their lives.
State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, did not respond to a text message from our correspondent for comment on the development.
Meanwhile, this incident came barely 48 hours after a similar incident happened in Omoku, headquarters of Ogba Egbema Ndoni Local Government Area where about 12 persons were shot dead in a reprisal attack by a cult group.
A mobile policeman was also allegedly shot dead in the incident while some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were also consumed in the shoot-out.
Residents of Port Harcourt and Omoku area of the state have appealed for more security presence to help maintain law and order.
