The Edo State Security Corps has arrested 14 suspects in connection with a cult-related killing in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
The PUNCH gathered that last week, tension heightened at Abiodun Motor Park, Jattu Junction, as residents, commuters and business owners ran for their lives after suspected cultists shot and killed a middle-aged man.
Following the killing, the Chief Security Officer and Principal Security Officer to Governor Monday Okpebholo led other security agencies on a raid of criminal hideouts in Edo North Senatorial District from Wednesday to Friday.
