Suspected cultists kill groom-to-be

Gunmen suspected to be cultists have killed a man whose wedding was scheduled for December in Edo.
The victim, identified as Mr Danladi, was reportedly killed at a friend’s shop about 100 metres from the Esigie Police Division in Oredo Local Government Area, one of the municipal council areas.
A source who pleaded anonymity noted that Mr Danladi was sitting in the shop when the gunmen emerged from a GLK Benz jeep and shot him twice at close range.
“Danladi is an easygoing 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.
“He has started sending invitation cards for his wedding to guests. He was billed to tie the knot with his partner in December,” the source said.
When contacted, SP Moses Yamu, public relations officer of the police command in Edo, regretted the renewed cult killings in the state.
“The command is doing everything within the law to tame cultism in the state.
“The situation has been brought under control,” he said.
Mr 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.
