The police command in Rivers State says it has foiled a suspected cult attack targeting a trader at a market in the Mile 3 area of Port Harcourt.
Blessing Agabe, the police spokeswoman in Rivers, confirmed the incident while speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt on Monday.
Ms Agabe, an assistant superintendent of police, said suspected cultists invaded a market along Bishop Okoye Street, but were prevented from carrying out their mission by officers of the Nkpolu Police Division.
“Upon receiving a distress alert, the police division mobilised officers to the scene and foiled the attack before the assailants could execute their mission,” she said.
According to her, security personnel have taken control of the area and commenced a manhunt for the fleeing suspects.
