According to The Punch, a young guy named Oyeme Eguari was killed in what appears to have been a cult-related attack, tainting the New Year’s festivities in Abbi, Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State. The town was shocked and in mourning as the new year began after the horrific occurrence that took place on December 31, 2024, during a crossover night celebration.

According to eyewitnesses, the victim, believed to be in his 20s, was shot dead by suspected members of the Supreme Vikings Confraternity at a beer parlour located on Ejakita Street, Abbi. The group, known for its involvement in various criminal activities, is believed to have targeted Eguari while he was enjoying the evening with friends.

The eyewitness said, “He was at the beer parlour having fun with friends when members of the Vikings Confraternity stormed the venue and shot him.”

Sources from the community revealed that the violent act was not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern of criminal behavior attributed to the Vikings Confraternity. This group has been implicated in several violent crimes in the area, including armed robbery, murder, drug trafficking, and other forms of harm, contributing to a climate of fear and insecurity.The growing violence in Abbi has prompted calls for urgent action from local authorities and human rights organizations. Community members are appealing for intervention to address the rising number of killings and to bring greater attention to the issue of cult-related violence in Delta State.

The Delta State Police responded swiftly to the incident, confirming that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the murder. These suspects have been handed over to the State Anti-Cult Unit (SACU) for further investigation and processing. While this step has been taken, the community remains anxious about the ongoing threat posed by such criminal groups.
