Edo Cult Leader Shot Dead in Violent Clash Sparks Political Criticism

A cult leader from the Vike Confraternity was reportedly shot dead in a power struggle clash with a rival faction along the Benin-Agbor road. The incident has led to unrest and criticism against the Edo State government, particularly for allegedly focusing on discrediting past projects rather than presenting new development plans.
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the government of neglecting legacy projects aimed at boosting the state's economy. The Edo State Police Command is yet to provide detailed information on the incident.
