Three persons were on Monday shot dead at different locations in Benin by suspected cultists.
TheHintsNews reports that the killing of the three persons was coming barely 24 hours after a middle-aged man, Ehis Dada, was killed on his way home from church by suspected cultists.

One of the victims, identified as Schoolboy said to be a member of Maphite was gunned down around Okhun junction, Oluku Quarters, by members of the rival group who were alleged to have hit a police officer with their GLK 350 4Matic Car with Registration N0: DGE Edo 170 AL, before snatching his AK 47 raffle.
The suspected cultists allegedly used the snatched AK 47 raffle to kill their victims later abandoned their GLK car around the Appico area in Upper Sokponba Road, following a chase by security operatives.
However, two of the other victims whose identities and the cult groups they belong to could not be asserted as they were reportedly killed at different locations in the Uselu-Ugbowo axis in Benin.
