The renewed cult clash in Edo State has reportedly claimed 10 lives in the last five days at Upper Sakponba in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.
It would be recalled that over eight persons were reported to have been killed as of Tuesday, October 29 in the area in a clash that was believed to be between Eiye and the Vikings confraternity.
The death toll continued to rise on Friday as a young man was shot at the Nomayo bus stop at about 6.00 pm.
An eyewitness said the victim was accosted by his assailants when he went to purchase at a shop in the neighbourhood.
The source who sells fruits at the bus stop, said, “He was just alighting from the bus and ready to enter the provision store before he was blocked by the boys. They shot him, and he tried to run, but they pursued him and hit him the second time before he fell on the ground and they shot him again in the stomach.
“That was when people began to run for their lives. Look at him there,” she said.
She pointed to the corpse about 100 meters away from the scene, where he was in a pool of blood with his stomach opened by bullets.
