Thank God say I no dey live this Kain life again.

BENIN CITY– No fewer than eight persons were feared dead yesterday, bringing to 16, the number of those killed within six days in the renewed cult clashes in Benin metropolis.


Among those killed yesterday was a 55 year -old man, identified as Eze, gunned down at a relaxation spot along Ogbelaka where he had possibly gone to cool down.


He was said to have gone their in a metallic black Pathfinder Jeep with registration number FV 825 ABC.


Although, Mr. Eze’s killing is yet to be linked to the on-going cult battle in the city, sources disclosed that three armed men appeared from the blues, walked – up to him and shoot him in the chest at close range.


Other victims said to be in their prime were killed at different locations in the state capital with three at Evbuotubu, two at Ugbowo, and two along Sikuko Road before Textile Mill Road junction.


Sadly, between Wednesday last week and yesterday, police in Benin metropolis have reportedly recovered about 14 bodies from street corners and school compounds used as battle grounds by the rampaging cult groups.


Last weekend, over five persons were also killed in GRA and Ekenwan areas of the city by the gansters who it was gathered, trailed their victims to where they were finally killed.
The incident which created fear of insecurity among residents of the city, had also paralysed night life as most relaxation centres now close before dusk.


Although no one knows what actually triggered the present war between two cult groups identified as Eiye and Confraternities, The NIGERIAN OBSERVER however gathered that the group had vowed to take the war to the door of the last member of their rival.


Benin City remains a safe haven for cultists despite countless police’s promises to rid the state of cultists.


It will be recalled that the former Assistant Inspector – General of Police (AIG), Zone 5, Prince Udom Ekpoudom, during a familiarisation visit to Police Command and Divisions in the state last February, stated that “any cultists caught with firearms should be treated as an armed robber,” adding that the Inspector – General of Police (IG), Mr. Mike Okiro had mandated that cultism should be dealt with head – on by the police.


Barely two weeks after his visit, the state Police Command paraded 25 suspected cultists arrested during a raid of a hotel along Agbor Road in Benin City, but how the suspects found their way back to the streets, days after their parade, remains an unresolved puzzle.

I always saw the signs of a serious war that's about to befall us.
Oh lawd, Come and help our petty country named Nigeria. . .
It's becoming something else, I don't even want to start remembering
those thieves we call president and leaders who rule our nation for money and our taxes. . .

Whats going on in Benin this days? God Help.

i thot this story was in the news last year 2009?

Benin City is one of the most dangerous towns in the country when it comes to cultism.
The youth of that town are really jobless. When one person goes down, all must follow.

Die dogs die,

Bside na die!

No go area.

So people still dey dat town?

Benin and cultism is synonymous. All these are caused by idleness.

I wonder wat will happen wen skool resumes,God help us dis semester.

Cultism is a way of life in Benin. It has extended beyond the four walls of the university into the city. This is really pathetic.

Nevertheless, Benin is still a nice place to be in. I've stayed in Benin for a while and I enjoyed my stay then. They are jovial and hospitable. But this Cultism issue is like a curse in that State. I pray it ends.
