Suspected cultists have gunned down one of the sons of the Seriki Hausa in Benin City, Edo State, simply identified as Danladi.

The late Danladi, whose wedding was said to have been fixed for December, was reportedly killed at a friend’s shop located about 100 meters away from the Esigie Police Division, Benin, in Oredo local government area of the state.

A source, who craved anonymity, said Danladi was sitting in his friend’s shop along Enohuwa Street, off First East Circular Road when the gunmen emerged from a GLK Mercedes Benz jeep and shot him twice at close range.

The source described Danladi as “an easy-going guy, and he is the son of Seriki Hausa in the area”.

According to the source, “Danladi’s death has created a huge vacuum in his family and a painful loss to his would-be wife.
“He has started sending out invitation cards for his wedding to guests. He was billed to tie the knot with his partner in December.”

Reacting to the development, the State police spokesman, Moses Yamu, a superintendent of police, SP, said the command was doing everything within the ambits of the law to tame cultism in the state, adding that the situation had been brought under control.

Yamu called on members of the public to give useful information to the police to help them in the fight against cultism and cult-related crimes in the state.
