Three Brothers Lost to Cult Violence in Anambra’s Awka Community
In Awka, Anambra State, three brothers from the same family have tragically lost their lives in a series of cult-related attacks. Nonso, the most recent victim, was killed in broad daylight on Saturday, November 2, near Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital.
This follows the death of his younger brother, Buchi, three months prior and the earlier loss of their eldest brother, leaving their mother without any surviving children.
With over twenty cult-related deaths in recent weeks, Awka has become a hotspot for violent clashes between rival groups.
Anambra State Police Commissioner, Nnaghe Obono Itam, has vowed to investigate thoroughly, while Governor Chukwuma Soludo reassures the public of strengthened security efforts to curb the violence.
Catholics across Benue State came together on Thursday in a heartfelt prayer walk, seeking God’s help for peace to return to the troubled region. The walk, which drew large crowds from different parishes, was marked by hymns, placards, and quiet reflection. Priests, religious groups, and lay faithful joined in solidarity as they moved through the streets.
They also prayed for the victims of the recent violence, including those killed in the attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, where many lives were lost. Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
The recent surprise visit to Benue State by President Bola Tinubu has stirred many reactions from the public.
It was reported that some school children who were outside were urged to welcome the president under the rain.
It was also noted that what started as a simple welcome turned into a political rally for the President and the Governor of the state.
This gained many criticisms from the public, especially online, as they shared their thoughts on the visit and the welcome. Many highlighted the fact that it was meant to be a condolence visit and not a celebratory event.
It has been reported that President Bola Tinubu just arrived to Benue State amid the violence attacks happening.

No solutions has been addresses to what will happen in Benue state, till now. President Tinubu arrives to Benue state, the people now hope for a solution to be given and justice to be served.
