The horror of cultism has once again reared its ugly head as six people have been reported killed in Benin City, after a clash between Aiye and Black Axe confraternities.
We are told that Aiye fraternity and Black Axe have been engaged in an age-long supremacy battle, and in the last 3 years about 30 people have died and several injured as a result.
Nosa Ebohon, an engineering graduate of the University of Benin who was popularly known as ‘Biggie A.K.A JUJU of UNIBEN’, was among those reportedly killed along Adolor College Road.
He was said to have been invited by an unknown person to a joint. On arrival there, two armed men shot him point blank in the chest.
Word going around is that the origin of the clash this time can be traced to a disagreement resulting from the sharing formulas of the bounty given by politicians to members of the two rivalry cults for the just concluded Governorship elections.
