Monday, November 11, 2024 -Gunmen suspected to be cultists have k!lled a man who was set to wed in December in Edo State.
The victim, simply identified as Danladi, was reportedly
killed at a friend’s shop located about 100 metres from the Esigie Police

the state.
A source who spoke with NAN, noted that
Danladi was sitting in the shop when the gun emerged from a GLK Benz jeep and
shot him twice at close range.
"Danladi is an easy going guy. He was
the son of Seriki Hausa in the area. His death has created a huge vacuum in his
family and a painful loss to his would-be wife," the source said.
He had started sending invitation cards for
his wedding to guests. He was billed to tie the knot with his partner in
December."

"The command is doing everything
within the law to tame cultism in the state. The situation has been brought
under control,” he said.
Yamu, however, called on members of the public to give useful information to the police in helping the fight against cultism and cult related crimes in the state.
