We killed Anambra ex-lawmaker for banishing cultists – Suspect

A cult kingpin, Chigbo Aniegbu, who was allegedly involved in the murder of a former lawmaker in Anambra State, Frank Igboka, has said members of his gang killed the legislator for banishing them from Nimo community. According to PUNCH,while being paraded at the Anambra State Police Command’s headquarters on Monday, the 27-year old suspect said Igboka terrorised his gang while serving as the President General of Nimo community.

Aniegbu, aka Transformer, alleged that the deceased vowed not to allow them back into the community until they changed their way of life. The self-confessed Vikings cult member, however, denied firing the shot that killed Igboka. He said, “I was at Oyeolise when they (cult members) told me to join them for an operation, but I was not told that it involved the killing of Igboka. That was why I was speechless when they shot the man.” The state Commissioner of Police, Mustapha Dandaura, said three members of the gang were still at large, adding that efforts were ongoing to track them.
