A report by Amnesty International has revealed that not less than 60 people were killed in Rivers State in 2019 as a result of cult related clashes.

Amnesty stated that the killers were literally getting away with murder, while no one was being arrested or punished for these crimes. "Not less than 49 people were killed in different communities in Khana Local Government Area in series of attacks between April and September 2019, according to villagers and community leaders.

"We call on the Nigerian authorities to take more robust action to stop these attacks by investigating every clash and bringing perpetrators to justice,” said Osai Ojigho, Director, Amnesty International Nigeria."Its failure to provide security for people in Rivers State especially in Emohua, Khana and Gokana local government areas and its failure to investigate and prosecute those responsible for these killings created an atmosphere of fear and bloodshed in the region.
