BENIN—A 28-year-old woman simply identified as Itohan Enagbare and her four- year-old daughter, Iwinosa, have been allegedly murdered by yet to be identified gunmen in Benin City.

Also five persons have been killed in different parts of Benin City over cult related issues.

The killing of mother and daughter is coming on the heels of the killing of a man over revenue collection for Oredo Local Government Area, causing chaos along the busy Oba Market Road, Wednesday night. The assailants were said to have stormed the victim’s residence on No. 2 Osaze Street, off Dumez Road, at about 1pm before dragging her downstairs where they stabbed her and her daughter as they locked her little baby in the bedroom.

The sources said the daughter was probably killed because she was crying loudly when the gunmen were leaving.

As sympathizers and forensic experts from the Police visited the bereaved family, Mr. Enagbare urged the Police to fish out killers of his wife and daughter.

And in a renewed cult war in the state, some cult members invaded Usen quarters where they shot a barber and inflicted injuries on his customer, just as sources said four other persons were killed, along Powerline road, beside Ogida Police Barracks on Monday.

In a related development, a man was said to have been killed along Oba market road over the collection of revenue for Oredo Local Government Area.

Wares of traders selling along the road including some vehicles were destroyed by rival groups just as passers-by scampered for safety as they fired gun shots into the air. It was learnt that a quarrel ensued after a group claimed that the acting Chairman of Oredo Local Government, Sweet Ikpomwosa, gave them approval to collect revenue from night traders.

Traders who displayed wares along the Oba Market road and adjoining streets pay as much as N600 daily to different groups. The group previously collecting revenue for the council was said to have resisted the new group which led to the killing. Oredo Council boss, Sweet Ikpomwosa refused to speak on the matter and said she was too busy to speak to journalists.

Police spokesman, DSP Abiodun Osifo, confirmed the killings and said some suspects have been arrested.
