Social media reports claim that the attack was a spillover of a drug related feud, between two Ozubulu brothers who live in South Africa. The main matter was said to be between Chief Aloy Ikegwuonu a.k.a Bishop (rumored to be a drug baron), and another Ozubulu man popularly known as Obrocho.
It was gathered that the gunmen had traced him to his house, but were told he had gone to church where he was meant to hold a thanksgiving service. According to reports, the battle had claimed some lives already over there in South Africa.
