One shot in a Cult clash between Axe and Eiye

A young man in his late twenties who according to report is a member of the Eiye confraternity is currently battling for his life after a rival cult member short him on his chest.

While speaking to izeksblog, an eyewitness said the whole incidence happened at about 8:55 pm on Tuesday.

According to the witness who refused to give his name, the attackers were members of the axe confraternity group who were out categorically to kill the young man. she said:

They were 6 in numbers dressed up on full black attire. They first went to the house of the young man who happens to have a twin brother and fortunately for him, he was not home at that time.

The residents of the house all ran out in fear. One of them said a member of the group told the others 'I know where he dey hide" 'come to show us, the other said as they ran towards the direction'

On getting to where he was seating with 6 other young men, the axemen pointed their torchlight because the place was dark and there was no light at that time. Once they found him, they shot him immediately but were only able to get him on his arm. The other guys took off while the young man that was shot also escaped with him.

When they realized he wasn't dead yet, they started shouting, 'where the person wey we shoot just now' They soon stopped searching when they realized they had already stayed too long.

While leaving the scene, the robbed the lady that had a shop close to where the scene played out.

The next day, a source close to the guy said the axe cult group sent message to the young man in an undisclosed health centre where he was being treated that they are aware he is still alive and will come to pay him another visit soon enough that same night, more than 6 other men were killed in different locations in Benin.
