There was a celebration in the Ahoada area of Rivers State at the weekend following reports that a cult leader, Gift Okpara, popularly known as 2Baba, had been reportedly killed.
Over the weekend, there was a sense of relief and jubilation in the Ahoada area of Rivers State amid reports suggesting the demise of Gift Okpara, also known as 2Baba, a prominent figure in local cult circles. According to a senior police official who preferred not to be named, 2Baba purportedly sustained severe injuries during a confrontation.
Although there hasn't been an official confirmation regarding 2Baba's fate, rumors of his possible demise prompted celebrations within the Ahoada communities. This recent development comes after a disturbing incident in September 2023 when a divisional police officer named Bako Angbashim fell into the hands of a cult faction allegedly under 2Baba's leadership. Tragically, the DPO was taken to a forest where he was brutally murdered and his body mutilated.
As of the time of this report, the police authorities were yet to authenticate these claims, leaving the situation shrouded in uncertainty.
