BENIN — A National Youth Service Corps member in Asaba, Delta
State, Mr. Osaro Edeghonghon, was weekend murdered by unknown
assailants at Ekpoma, the administrative headquarters of Esan West
Local Government Area of Edo State.
He was allegedly murdered at a drinking spot along the Benin-Auchi
road at about 9.00 am.
The killing of Edeghonghon came on the heels of the murder of an aide
to the Chairman of Esan‑West Local Government Area by a woman
two weeks ago at the same drinking spot.
Vanguard learnt that the late NYSC member was accosted by his
assailants while making his exit from the beer parlour and sensing
dangers, he took to his heels, but was pursued by his assailants who
caught up with him before raining bullets on him.
He was thereafter left to die in the pool of his blood.
However, his father, Mr. Patrick Edeghonghon had accused the police
of handling the case in a shoddy way and alleged that he was
prevented from seeing a suspect arrested in connection with the
murder.
He, therefore, appealed to the state Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Folusho Adebanjo, to intervene in the matter to ensure that justice was
done.
