Mr.
Oboh Austin, a native of Ogwa Local Government Area, Ekpoma Edo State,
Nigeria has been declared missing following the mysterious death of his
two brothers, Osaro and Kennedy and an attempt to initiate him into his
father's secret cult.
Speaking with the Ika Weekly
correspondent in Edo State, a source who pleaded on the condition of
anonymity, revealed that Austin was declared missing on the 1st of
December, 2015 after the untimely death of his brothers and due to the
fat that his father, Mr. Obohense Salame was threatening to kill him
if he refuses to join his conffraternity.
It was also learnt that Austin
and his family after watching Television on one fateful night, went to
bed. Unfortunately, Osaro could not wake up in the next morning and
the same mysterious death also happened to Kennedy within the interval
of six months. It was observed that both of them vomited blood before
they died.
Speaking further, the source stated
that one day, Austin began to ask his father to know about what led to
the death of his siblings, on that note his father told him to stop
asking him or else he will be the next to die and that when he dies like
his brothers, nobody has right to question him. This threat according
to the source made Austin to go and report the matter in police station,
while the police were carrying out their investigation into the matter,
Austin due to threat to his life by the cultists, travelled to Port
Harcourt. While in Port Harcourt, he was told that his father was sick
and he came home. Unfortunately his father could not survive it. Newsmen
also learnt that after the burial ceremony the cultists still went to
Port Harcourt to meet Austin, urging him to come and takeover his
father's position and that he will die when he refuses to do so.
The
police as at the time of filing this report has assured to do their
possible best to ensure that the cultists and criminals who have been
terrorising the area are brought to book. He therefore advised youths to
desist from social vices as anyone caught practicing such barbaric and
detrimental acts.
