Two persons were on new year eve killed by suspected cultists in Sapele town, SapeIe Local Government Area of Delta State.

Vanguard reports that the killings maybe a reprisal between members of rival cult groups in the ancient town.

This is coming barely 48 hours after a hairstylist, Adams Ejuvwese, popularly called 10 over 10 was killed.

Vanguard learnt that trouble started on Tuesday after the popular hairstylist while sitting in front of his newly opened hair dressing salon along New road by Otite road junction in Sapele was gunned down by suspected cultists.

Sources said the killing which shook the community was greeted with reprisals, during which cult members at the scene were reportedly heard boasting that they would retaliate the murder of the young man.

Barely 16 hours after the killing, a rival cult member said to have celebrated the death of the hairstylist was said to have been arrested by men of the vigilante.

According to sources, one of the men shot last night, whose name cannot be ascertained as at the time of going to press, was killed inside his car (a Venza) while heading to the Total end of New road by Adeola, close to a popular car stand, an action that sent members of churches around the vicinity scampering for safety.
