Although details of the clash is still sketchy as at the time of filing this report, the clash is said to be between the Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC) and Supreme Vikings Confraternity.

It was gathered that the matter escalated during a peace gathering aimed at resolving the matter by the leaders of the group at Tipper garage in Idogbo area of Upper Sokponba Road.

 

It was further gathered that some alleged Eiye members attacked the Vikings members and inflicted injuries on them with knives but no life was lost.

According to a source who spoke with Vanguard, the Vikings returned in their numbers to retaliate, as they kill one of the top leaders in the Eiye confraternity, and also another man, identified as Oil man, also an Eiye member.

“There was a Vikings member that was was stabbed mercilessly and they thought he was dead but he is the hospital.

The challenge in this is that one of the groups does not accept apology and the other does not apologise” the source said

Reacting to this, the group, The Network of Civil Society Organisations (NOCSON) has beckon on the police to lift the ban on vigilante groups in the state.

In a statement released by the President of the organization, Comrade Ogbidi Emmanuel, the cult clash is largely blamed on the porous nature of security in the state, following the “needless ban on the Edo State Joint Security Network earlier trained by the Police.

 

“The ban, which was pronounced by the Inspector General of Police Mr Kayode Egbetokun have since brought about great increase in crime to an alarming rate, especially within the locals.”

The statement called on the police to investigate the cult related killings and bring perpetrators to book.
