A middle- aged man named Ehis Dada was mercilessly shot and killed by suspected members of a cult on Sunday right after leaving a church service, in a shocking incident that has shocked Benin City, the capital of Edo State, Nigeria.
Amagba Community, where Dada had gone to worship, was the target of the attackers, whose names are still unknown. A terrifying video showing the incident' s aftermath has been widely shared on social media, which has increased the level of concern in the neighborhood.
Both the community and authorities are perplexed because neither the reason for the murder nor the precise cult organization responsible for the crime have been identified.
Residents of the neighborhood have an urgent concern about the safety of worshipers during religious gatherings. Calls for a comprehensive investigation to find and capture the offenders have been made in response to this tragic tragedy, which has only heightened those concerns.
The residents of the town are want justice for Dada' s premature passing. One local bemoaned, " The deceased was fatally shot after leaving the church on Sunday, " expressing the attitude that is prevalent across the neighborhood.
The community is in a state of panic as a result, and we urgently request that the authorities respond. Calls to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Chidi Nwabuzor, have not been returned, making it impossible to reach him for a formal statement.
The bereaved community' s anxieties and frustrations about getting justice and assurance are made worse by their inability to communicate with the authorities.
Benin City is dealing with the fallout of this horrible murder as inquiries into this awful tragedy get underway. Residents' lives have been forever changed by the loss of Ehis Dada, underscoring the essential need for better security measures to protect people during religious events and daily life.
The expectation is still that the circumstances surrounding the murder will be clarified by a swift and thorough investigation, which will result in the capture and punishment of those involved. This will then give the bereaved community comfort and a feeling of closure.
