Residents of
OMPADEC area in the Amarata suburb of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, were yesterday,
gripped with fear, following the shooting to death of an 18-year- old youth by
armed men suspected to be cultists.
The incident,
which caused pandemonium in the neighbourhood, occurred in front of the house
of a chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC.
While many
residents of the area claimed that the killing of the youth was as a result of
violence between two notorious cult groups in the state, others feared that it
might have political undertone.
The deceased,
according to eyewitnesses, was pursued by his assailants, who caught up with
him in front of the residence of a chieftain of the APC and dealt him machete
cuts before he was shot dead.
It was learnt
that the gunmen, numbering four, had at 7p.m.,
Sunday, pursued their victim, whose name is yet to be ascertained, to
the OMPAEC area and caught up with him in front of the residence of the APC
chieftain, dealt machete cuts on him and shot him at close range.
The attack
caused residents and shop owners in the usually busy area to run for safety.
However,
the APC chieftain was not at home when the incident occurred.

His identity may reveal wether he was the target or he was mistaken for someone linked to the APC chief. But for him to be first attacked with machetes and then shot indicates he was well known to his assailants and they made sure he dies.
