Unknown gunmen have killed a policeman identified as Sergeant Oisa
Monday Ehigie, the police orderly to the Chairman of Ikpoba-Okha local
government area, Dr. Eric Osayande.
Late Ehigie was shot dead on Saturday night at Nomayo Junction along Upper Sokponba road in Ikpoba-Okha local government.
His killings might be connected to the on-going cult war in Benin
City in which several persons have been killed in different parts of the
State.
State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosun, who confirmed the
killing said he has visited family of the slain policeman, adding that
efforts were on to arrest the killers.
This is coming two days after gunmen abducted a candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State , Mr Michael Ohio – Ezomon and
shot dead his police orderly.
Ohio – Ezomon is a former member of the state House of Assembly and
represented the Owan West Constituency between 2011 and 2015, and is
currently seeking a return to the House in the forthcoming elections.
The abductors are yet to demand for ransom.
