At least, five persons were left dead after a bloody cult war
between Black Axe and Viking cult members ensued shortly after the
completion of the examinations for the 2016 session in the institution
last Thursday.
The incident happened at the Auchi Polytechnic, in Etsako-West
Local Government of Edo State. According to reports, the victims were
killed in different locations during the violent clash between the Black
Axe and Viking confraternity.
Two victims where shot dead behind the School of Engineering of the
polytechnic and around Sabo area, respectively, while one of the
victims was said to have been killed in front of a construction company
on the Benin-Auchi-Okene expressway.
It was gathered that a disagreement had ensued last Friday between the two groups at the graduation party of an unnamed student.
When contacted on Sunday, the Commissioner of Police, Haliru
Gwandu, confirmed the death of two persons during the clashes between
the rival cult groups.
Gwandu, however, disclosed that kingpins from the groups had been
arrested and were assisting the police with useful information in their
investigation.
