Police in Imo State are investigating a suspected cult-related shooting after a 34-year-old man, Gift Okoro, is reported to have been shot dead by unidentified gunmen. The Imo State Police Command says it has launched a manhunt for the attackers.

Both outlets describe the incident as part of renewed or ongoing cult activity in the state. They rely on police statements and emphasize investigation steps and efforts to identify the perpetrators. Daily Post Nigeria also adds that the police commissioner orders a “thorough investigation” and frames the report as a potential murder attempt alongside the reported shooting, while The Punch highlights the manhunt after the killing.
