A revenue collector, simply identified as Emmanuel, has been shot dead by suspected cultists on Thursday in Benin.
The victim, popularly known as ‘Meme’, a member of Professional Drivers on Wheels, was killed in what was suspected to be a retaliatory cult-related violence.
A source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that Emmanuel was killed in Akugbe Street, off 2nd West junction by Oliha market in Oredo Local Government Area of the State.
The source said some gunmen in two operational vehicles trailed the revenue collector from 2nd West junction into a nearby house, which he attempted to use as shelter from harm.
However, a burglary proof was said to have prevented him from accessing the residential building while the assailants struck.
It was learnt that gunshots caused pandemonium among traders and residents in the area, who scampered to safety to avoid being hit by stray bullets.
Sources stated that the victim was shot multiple times and left in a pool of his own blood by the assailants, who escaped before the arrival of security personnel.
