He said that the statement was from his office and regretted the actions of the suspected cultists, noting that Calabar metropolis has witnessed several killings in recent times.
“The bloodbath in the state capital is too much. We have conducted several investigations which pointed to the suspected cultists, hence the reason for declaring them wanted.
