One Mr. Etim Mesembe was murdered in a reestablished group war on Monday night, August 28 at Eyo Ita Road Calabar, Cross River State Capital.
Until his passing, Mesembe was vying for the position of a Councilor in Calabar South Local Government Area Ward 8.
It was assembled that the deceased was on the street when the attacker associated to be members of Vikings and Skylow faction cult groups, whom sources say had prepared for a hit, spotted him.
"After a shout from one of them that he was the one, he was shot and cut with machetes several times. His death came 24 hours after a fight between the Skylow gang and Scorpion gang on Sunday night had led to the death of a Scorpion member in Ekpo Abasi," the report said.
Sources say the Skylow arranged a backlash for the Scorpion gang who had slaughtered around four of their individuals amid the last war. And,on Sunday night, the group intended to hit Scorpion individuals around Mayne Avenue, Ekpo Abasi and Anantigha pivot where where three teams were waiting and ambushed any fleeing Scorpion member.
"The recent war is suspected to be connected to the killing of one Ecomoc in June due to ticketing competition between gang groups after government officials indirectly recruited them through phoney companies serving as revenue collection agencies."
