killing of their members by another rival group
The victims including eight males and one female were killed when the DEEWELL cult group reportedly invaded Assa Awara community and killed eight men and killed another woman at
Obitte community. This was even as a traditional ruler and two other
of his accomplices were detained at the Owerri,
the Imo State capital for allegedly killing one Joseph Ihueze over a parcel of land in the same area.Police sources said that the deceased who was insane inherited a large portion of land from his father, but the traditional ruler and two persons killed him to enable them take over the land

tension in the area.However, the killing of the nine persons was said
to have been carried out by DEEWELL against the

killed one of the DEEWELL members in the area. Police sources which confirmed the story said that
