A young man simply identified as Danladi has been killed by suspected cultists in Edo State.
Before his untimely death, the deceased, who was said to be the son of the Hausa leader in the area, had fixed his wedding for next month.
It is gathered that Danladi was brutally gunned down at a friend’s shop located about 100 meters away from the Esigie Police Division in the Oredo LGA of Edo State.
A local, who was privy the incident and spoke to newsmen in confidence, disclosed the victim was sitting in his friend’s shop along Enohuwa Street, off First East Circular Road, when the gunmen emerged from a GLK Benz and shot him twice at close range.
The source said, “Danladi is an easygoing guy. He is the son of Seriki Hausa in the area.
“Danladi’s death has created a huge vacuum in his family and a painful loss to his would-be wife.
“He has started sending invitation cards of his wedding out. He was billed to tie the knot with his partner in December.”
When contacted, the Edo State Police spokesman, SP. Moses Yamu said the Command is doing everything within the ambit of the law to tame cultism in the state.
Yamu added that the situation has been brought under control.
He, however, called on members of the public to give useful information to the Police in the fight against cultism and cult-related crimes in the State
