BENIN—COMMERCIAL activities were almost brought to a standstill in Benin yesterday, as two Benin-based local actors, Mr. Erhauyi Ogheide, a.k.a Ukeke and Eghosa Idehen, also known as Erejiro, were Tuesday evening shot dead by suspected assassins.

The duo were said to have been killed in the residence of Ukeke’s father-in-law located at 39, Ore-Oghene Street in Benin metropolis at about 8pm.

Vanguard learnt that the two artists were reportedly shot dead by unknown killers shortly after returning from a location in Iguomo community, near Benin, where they had gone to shoot a Bini film soon to be released.

The five-man killer squad said to be on the trail of the two artists reportedly made straight for the sitting room where the actors and their host were meeting.

It was further gathered that Ukeke was shot twice at close range, while Erejiro, who had earlier escaped into a bathroom, was also shot at close range in his hideout.

Their host, Chief Olaye, it was also gathered, was not spared by the suspected assassins who reportedly shot him in the mouth before making away with handsets of the victims in a Toyota Camry car they came in.

Chief Olaye is said to be receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Benin, just as the remains of the deceased artists have been deposited at the mortuary by the police.

Following the gruesome murder of the two artists, their fans took to the streets of Benin to protest the killing.

Mr. Erhauyi Ogheide, a.k.a Ukeke

oh my goodness, this is no random killing but the works of hired assassins.
my heart goes out to their families .

My condolences to the family. In the mean time lets us all pray for our friends and family back home and also for Nigeria itself, that country is slowly combusting before our very eyes.

those killers and sponsorer shouldnt die again, dey wil surely reap what dey ve sown!,
and what kind of seed have they planted in mind of d children of d victims.?

He that kill by the sword shall also die by the sword, God'll surely reward their killers.

I feel so sorry 4 them

and more will be killed and their assailants will continue to go scot free!

and many more will be killed, while Nigerians still shout "we are not terrorists. . . we are a buncha happy people who love being slaughtered!"

and many more will be killed while some nut case come around to sell a "rebranded country" to Nigerians, and Nigerian's in their gullible states will accept hook line and sinker!

and even more will be killed while some idíot opens his buccal cavity and shouts "why do we need to protest?". . .and even others will sit in their pathetic state and hum "god will judge".

we hail thee Nigeria. . . the land that flows with the blood of slaughtered innocents!

Pathetic

. . .

Rest in peace Love! I miss and love you Ukeke

lmao
but true

Eldee,

This is not a dedication thread. This is just another news thread. Nothing here is dedicated to them. Let's call a spade, a spade shall we? I understand plenty people may not appreciate my humour. However to try and use me as a comparison to those who killed them is a bit over the top.
