The Notorious Chief Nwiboko Obodo and the Odozi Obodo cult

In today's history but with a touch of shock i just learnt of this story via http://kirbyhistories.blogspot.com culled from Time. Apparently in the heart land of Abaliki located in South eastern Nigeria ,Nigeria had what can best be described as a cult with serial killers. the Time magazine article of 1958 below states. In the vast British tropical colony of Nigeria, the back-country people of the Eastern Region have long been a troublesome lot to officialdom. Mostly half-naked farmers, they take unusual delight in staging bloody campaigns against vaccinations, and in setting schools on fire. Each time the police must come in to restore order. But of all the assignments that the police have undertaken, none has produced such eerie results as the search of the house of Chief Nwiboko Obodo.
