Five persons have been reportedly killed at the weekend while several others were seriously injured in a bloody clash in three different locations between two rival cult groups, the Eiye and Black Axe in Benin, the Edo State capital.
Daily Sun gathered that the victims were killed during a quarrel, as one of the groups was sharing money allegedly given to them by politicians during the conduct of primaries by one of the political parties in the state.
It was learnt that two men riding on a motorcycle, suspected to be members of the Eiye confraternity shot a member of a rival Black Axe cult group whose name was identified as Tony Idemudia at Uwelu, near Ogida area of the city. As soon as this happened, the Black Axe members were said to have stormed the Texiles Mill Road area apparently on a reprisal mission and swooped on two rival members killing them in the process.
Not satisfied, members of the Black Axe confraternity were said to have retreated and launched another attack on their opponents at the Second East Circular junction also in the state capital, where they shot two persons to death. One of the victims of the onslaught was identified as Osas. The bloody scenes had left the residents of the affected areas scampering for safety. When contacted , the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Peter Ogboi failed to confirm the incident.
However, Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. David Omojola said nine persons had been arrested in connection with the incident. He attributed the killings to rival cult gangs and promised that those involved in the killings would be prosecuted, adding that investigations were on to unravel the circumstances surrounding the clash.
The corpses of the cult members have been taken to the morgue of the Central Hospital, Benin by policemen from the state command.

What a shame, that youths play with their lives. This is the reason the old politicians will continue to recycle power among themselves because the youth are too busy fighting and killing themselves all in the name of cultism. Police never prosecute any cultist because they have some big name supporting them.

hello what can we say?because cultisim has been there from the old time and the worst part of it is that cultism is now turning into a street gangstart shit and it was not like this in the past years which means that a cultist can come out openly to let the people arround to know that he is a cultiest and most parents knows about this which makes the politicians to use them as tools to thier mass distructions.
i will advise that the best way to stop this is to apply and very deadly law on members of the cultism by the Nigerian governments and make sure they carry it out on a jungle justice profile in which if you are found to be a cult member you will be beheaded and burn at the sport of confirmations and let prize be given to those that identifies any cult members.
in this way you will find out that non of them have to come out openly to identify as a confidentiality member to avoid be beheaded and exposed by friend or people around in the name of the prize money they will receive and in this way you will see them all go hiding.
this is a little one my fellow Nigerians,,,i have witness a bloody massacre in my neighborhood of a cult member was looked for and where not found then the offended opponent went to kill the brother and sister of their offended...family knows nothing about their son been a cultist.
so you should not be surprise this is a little of their kind
