On Sunday, Awka, Anambra State witnessed a tragic incident that left three persons dead and many others injured. The assailants, suspected cultists, opened fire in the densely populated Amaenyi area, causing a stampede that left several people injured. The second attack took place on SM Okeke Street, where a popular comedian, Mr Aiza Nwosu, became the latest victim.
Sources revealed that the cultists had been monitoring Nwosu and had trailed him from his house to the street before launching their attack. Nwosu, known for his loud music blaring from his Hilux truck fitted with speakers, was driving through the street when he was shot dead by the armed men in a Toyota Corolla with tinted windows.
Despite claims that Nwosu had no cult history, others suggested that his son was a known member of the Vikings Confraternity. Awka has a history of cult clashes, and as of now, police authorities have not commented on the incident. The events of Sunday may signify a resurgence of cult conflicts in the city, marking it as a "Black Sunday" in Awka.
