Two persons have been reportedly killed in a renewed cult clash between rival groups in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

DAILY POST gathered that the rivalry between the cult groups began on Saturday following the killing of one Ogbomo allegedly by a rival group.

Ogbomo was said to have been killed by a four-man gang at about 4pm along Esigie Street around 3rd East Circular Road.

The killing of Ogbomo led to the retaliation on Monday afternoon with the killing of a commercial bus driver along 3rd Circular road.

According to sources; “I and other passengers boarded a commercial bus from Ekiosa market to New Benin by Upper Mission Junction. Halfway into the journey, an Audi car overtook us and forced the driver to stop.

“The next thing, the gunmen came out of the Audi car and dragged the bus driver out and shot him at a close range.”

The Police Public Relations Officer in Edo State, SP Kotongs Bello said he was not aware of the development as the divisional police officer in charge of the area was yet to brief the command.
