Youths are dying everyday in Benin – Man says as he shares video of two men killed in renewed cult war in Edo

A Nigerian man, Lawrence Okoro, has posted a video of two of the three men killed in a renewed cult clash in Benin City, the Edo State capital on Sunday night, January 21, 2024.

LIB reported that two of the latest victims identified as Denco and Ariba were killed at a drinking parlour at Igun junction by Igbesanmwan and Oza street off Sokponba Road in Benin. 

Recall that no fewer than 30 people including a journalist with the Independent Radio and Television Station and vigilante heads were killed during a bloody cult war between members of the Black Axe and their rival Supreme Eiye Confraternities that characterized the last yuletide season in Benin.

“Cultism: Youths are dying everyday in Benin due to consistent Cult killings. We ain’t talking about it enough and govt has to do something to put an end to it,” he wrote.
