One man said over 30 persons hid inside his shop at Three House Junction while the cult boys were shooting intermittently. At the notorious Third Junction, four persons were killed while others were killed in different parts of the state. Policemen were later seen at Third Junction arresting suspected cultists but residents said they were arresting innocent traders and artisans. Police spokesman Chidi Nwabuzor said he was yet to be briefed on the cult killings, adding that the police have a right to randomly arrest people within the vicinity of crime, release the innocent and prosecute suspects.
