A cult initiation in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River
State, on December, 27th, 2018, turn out sour as it led to the death of a
new convert, named, Miracle.

The Council Headquarters residents
in Sankwala, woke up early hours of December, 28th to a gory picture of
Miracle, a native of Bayanung, Basang Clan, who had died in the course
of his initiation rites of the fraternity.
He died as a result of severe cuts to his body and head.

Four
persons have already been arrested by Obanliku Divisional Police
Headquarters, Sankwala, and transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department Headquarters, at Diamond Hills, Calabar, that
included an Evangelist, whose nephew was involved in the initiation
rituals and unknown to him, the boy came around and passed the night in
his uncle’s house, only for the Evangelist to know what transpired the
night before.

Efforts by Community leaders and elder brother of
the Evangelist, to exonerate his younger brother from his son’s
atrocities, proved abortive. Hence, the Police and the Military
personnel that have gone to arrest the said cultist from his uncle’s
house had escaped.
