“His assailants ensured he died on the spot before zooming off which has been the tradition of cult groups in the city of late to avoid him surviving and coming after then,”
DSP Irene Ugbo, the Cross River State Police Command spokesman said no arrest has been made.
“Our anti cultism team is aware of the incident and investigations are in progress.
