The peace that appeared to be restored in Benin City and other parts of Edo state has been shattered following renewed cult violence between the Aiye and Eiye cult groups.

It was gathered that the latest clash is a fall out of the killing of 2 persons, one a pharmacist in the Ugbowo area of Benin city following a minor disagreement between some members of the cult groups. This disagreement provoked the Aiye members, who gather in their numbers to attack a member of the Eiye group and followed it up with the killing of a pharmacist who they alleged is a friend and fellow cult member with the murdered guy.

The Eiye cult group, who has always been in supremacy battle with the Aiye rataliated by killing 3 top members of the Aiye group in different parts of Benin.

According to the Police Officer, the latest clash started last week and they are moving from house to house to identify who are these cultists responsible for the killings, as the style and manner used to kill their victims is always in a way that the Police cannot apprehend them easily during the clandestine activities.
According to the Police, these killers target their victims, hit the target and they retreat to unknown areas, but said the Police is on their on their tail. Meanwhile, the police said it is gathering intelligence which will enable it to identify potential cultists and to smoke them out from their hiding places.

The history of cult clashes between rival cult members in Edo state particularly the dreaded Aiye who pride themselves as an attack arm of the registered (NBM) and the Eiye who refer to themselves as the attack arm of the Suprem Eiye Confraternity(SEC) dates back to the birth of the groups in some schools in Edo state. While the Aiye group was originated from their High temple in Uniben, the Eiye has its origin from the University of Ibadan where it was imported into Edo state. The major contention between the two groups is that according to the Aiye, Edo state is their place of birth and it should command superiority, but for the Eiye, not withstanding your origin in Edo, they they are more spiritual, senior, organized and should rule the state and will not allow Aiye to subdue them. It is always a bloodied time any time these groups decide to fall out against each.

Who wins this supremacy challenge is a story for another day, as both parties usually count scores to know who kills more. Now, in this fight, the Aiyes have killed 2 and Eiye retaliated by killing 3. And the killings continues until the police can broker peace between them.

Our prayer is that peace should return to Edo state;, parents should talk to their children and schools should incorporate anti cultism studies in the school curriculum.
