“OSAboy lives in the neighbouring village but met his untimely death that early morning as he rushed to carry his wife to the popular Urua Awak market when the hoodlums descended on him.
“OSAboy was not spared by the cultists just to hide their identities because he rammed into their operations knowing that the victim can identify them for possible arrest.
“They caught him after the first person was killed. We heard when he was shouting for help but the cultists did not listen. They killed him on the spot just to hide their Identity and escape arrest.”
