between rival groups around Auchi Polytechnic,
in Etsako-West Local Government of Edo State.

Thursday. One of the victims was said to have
been killed in front of a construction company
on the Benin-Auchi-Okene expressway.
Two others were reportedly shot dead behind
the School of Engineering of the polytechnic and

between the two groups at the graduation party
of an unnamed student. When contacted on
Sunday, the Commissioner of Police, Haliru

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
