Edafe, however, dismissed speculations in some quarters that the incident was a cult clash.
“We are not aware of any cult war in Ekpan. It was random shooting by some persons in a Toyota Highlander. Two persons died on the spot while another two died today (Monday),” the police spokesperson added.
He stated that it was not true that anybody died in a shooting in Sapele, noting that there was shooting there but no resident was killed.
