No fewer than 14 persons have been gruesomely murdered by unknown gunmen in Sime Tai area of Rivers state.

This area also happens to be the home town of House of Representatives member representing Tai/Eleme/Oyigbo. Hon. Jacobson Nbina.

Reports  have that the attack was carried out by a cult group on a reprisal mission.

This is the second time within one week that the area would be attacked by cult groups after after unknown gunmen murdered the gateman and uncle of Hon. Nbina last week.
