In the city of Benin, Edo State, a betting operator, known as Romeo, met his tragic end at the hands of suspected cultists, who also critically injured another individual. This incident was not isolated, as two other victims, identified as Eze and Bobor, fell prey to unidentified gunmen.
The first attack occurred on Second East Circular Road, a mere 150 meters from the Esigie Police Division Station in the Obagie community of Oredo LGA.

Meanwhile, Eze and Bobor met their demise while driving in their Lexus jeep on a Saturday, ambushed by assailants who unleashed a hail of bullets upon them.
Sources reveal that these violent clashes stem from a land dispute between the Amagba and Obagie communities. The intricate web of communal tensions has escalated into a cycle of bloodshed, with individuals bearing the brunt of a conflict far beyond their control.
