On June 12, 2025, a violent cult clash erupted in the Mile 1 area of Diobu, Port Harcourt, sending residents into a frenzy as gunshots echoed through the streets. Social media reports, particularly from X, describe a tense scene with rival factions, allegedly tied to the Deebam (BKB) cult group, engaging in a fierce shootout. The clash, which some link to ongoing supremacy battles in the Diobu axis, left locals scrambling for safety.
Details on casualties or arrests remain murky, with no official police statement confirming specifics as of now. However, posts on X highlight the growing frustration among residents, with some questioning why cultism persists in 2025 and others calling for urgent government intervention to curb the violence. This incident follows a troubling pattern in Diobu, where recent weeks have seen multiple cult-related killings, including the deaths of a vigilante member and a taxi driver.
The unrest underscores the persistent security challenges in Port Harcourt’s Diobu area, notorious for clashes between groups like Deygbam and Dewell. Residents are urging authorities to step up efforts to restore peace, with one X user warning, “Please stay safe,” as the situation remains volatile.
