The deceased who were identified as Osamudiamen Ehigie and Nosa Aghimie were into welding work, they were coming from a project site in the community when they were attacked by the suspects who beat them to death.
The incident happened on the 16th of November, 2024, around 6 pm. A resident narrated that a robbery took place in the area that day and at that particular time. Fortunately, during the robbery, the young boys were coming from the site. Upon sighting the boys, the armed robbers gave the boys a hot chase. In the course of running for their lives, the boys hide inside a building.
The story took another turn when the residents of the building saw the boys hiding and accused them of being the ones behind the robbery. They mistook the boys for robbers and this led to why they were dragged and beaten to death. During the beating, the owner of the site, where the boys had gone to work, came to the scene to tell the residents that the boys were innocent but they did not listen until they killed those innocent young boys.
The police have arrested three people behind the killing of the innocent boys. The information gathered from the Edo State police spokesperson, SP Moses Yamu, stated that five people were suspected, three were apprehended and charged to court while two are now at large.
