The Commissioner of Police in
Edo, Hakeem Odumosun, has said that the policeman killed by unknown gunmen in
Benin on Saturday night was a member of a secret cult.
The CP told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on telephone that two other persons were killed in the shoot out
that claimed the life of the officer.
NAN had reported that a police
officer, identified as Oisa Ehigie, was shot dead along Normayo/Sakponba road
of Benin City.
It was also reported that the
killing may not be unconnected with activities of secret cults that had claimed
several lives in the city recently.
The commissioner said the slain
officer was killed alongside two members of his cult group.
According to him, the slain
policeman died while fighting on the side of his cult group against rival cult
group.
“Three people were killed in the
fight, the police officer and two others.
“I have gone to see his family.
It is a cult killing and the officer is a cultist,” the CP said.
The commissioner, who said
arrests have been made in relation to the killings, also said some guns had
been recovered.
