A member of a cult group, Akobundu Mbah, has confessed how he and his members beheaded a rival cultist identified as Wabali Ebubedike and buried him in a shallow grave on a farm road in Isiokpo, Ikwerre Local Government Area.

Mbah, who is currently in police net, said he was forced into joining Icelander cult group by the leader of the group named Italian, who is currently at large.
The suspect explained that Italian had insisted that they (Icelander members) should capture Ebubedike alive for him because the deceased was challenging his authority.
“We were able to get Ebubedike. We caught him around Omaeke in Isiokpo. Like I said; we are members of Icelanders. Italian is the number one.Mbah, who claimed he was a farmer by profession, said the capture of Ebubedike by the Icelander cult group was accomplished in February.
“Our boss, Italian, said we should search for Ebubedike for daring to challenge him (Italian). When we brought Ebubedike to our boss, he (Italian) beheaded him and we buried him in a shallow grave.
“We were not part of the beheading; we appealed to our boss not to kill Ebubedike but he insisted that he was going to kill him. We buried him somewhere in the bush in Isiokpo,” he added.
Speaking on the incident, the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, confirmed that the gang beheaded their victim and buried him in a shallow grave along a farm road in Isiokpo, Ikwerre Local Government Area.
He said the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the State Police Command, Dr. Paul Umoh, and his men swung into action and arrested three suspects in connection with the killing of Ebubedike.
