Gunmen suspected to be cultists shot and killed the zonal commander of a local security outfit codenamed OSPAC in Omoku, the headquarters of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, identified as Ozomela Stephen Nwaocha, on Tuesday evening.Also killed were three women, including the commander’s sister, who were with him during the attack.OSPAC is the acronym for the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area Security Planning and Advisory Committee.The assailants reportedly attacked the vigilante commander while he was relaxing outside his compound with the women along Oba Road in Omoku.It was gathered that the killing may have been a reprisal following a violent clash linked to a community dispute.A source told our correspondent that a youth meeting had been disrupted earlier on Tuesday after armed security personnel and OSPAC members allegedly stormed the venue and opened fire, leaving two youths with gunshot injuries.Videos of the aftermath of the attack circulating on social media and seen by our correspondent on Wednesday showed multiple casualties, including the three women.Residents, some believed to be relatives of the victims, were seen crying at the scene, while others carried the injured into a vehicle.A source told our correspondent that the incident had caused panic in the area, with some residents fleeing to safer locations and business activities disrupted.The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, said, “As I speak to you, many businesses and markets have remained shut since Tuesday.“Many residents have also fled to neighbouring communities for safety because of fear. There is serious panic here.”Confirming the incident in a voice note, the Public Relations Officer of OSPAC in Rivers State, Nkem Godknows, said the gunmen attacked the vigilante commander while he was sitting with his sister and her friend near his residence.Related NewsReps step down bill seeking ban on unbranded, unfortified cooking oilsYour claim on Service-Wide Vote baseless, APC tells AtikuNDIC begins payment to depositors of 46 failed microfinance banksGodknows said the incident occurred around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, adding that the three women died instantly after they were hit by the attackers’ bullets.He further said two other victims sustained gunshot wounds and were rushed to hospital, where they are receiving treatment.He said, “It was about 5:05 p.m. Our commander was hanging out with his sister and friend around his neighbourhood.
