A suspected cultist has lost his life in what seem to be a reprisal attack at the mid hours of Thursday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

It was gathered that a suspected Deygbam cult member known as Saidu (aka F-Man) was rounded up by suspected Iceland cult members at about 12noon on Thursday along Ogbuagu/Wokoma street, Mile 3 Diobu, Port Harcourt and stabbed severally.
