The
shooting which occurred at the Oba market killed a
25-year-old man simply identified as Osamame Isekhuere (aka Black Arrow) at the
weekend. He was shot dead in Benin by his friend while trying to test the
efficacy of charms in his possession popularly known as ‘Africa Insurance’
At
the centre of Benin metropolis, we gathered that forced many traders in
the market to lock up their shops and run for their lives following riots
occasioned by the killing. It was gathered that Osamame had asked one of his
friends to shoot him to test a new charm that he had acquired against bullets
after incising and rubbing the charms on their bodies and they decided to test
it with live bullets.
Eye
witness says, Osamame first shot at his friend but the bullet did not penetrate
but when the friend shot at Osamame on the chest, the charm failed. Osamame was
said to have died instantly. His friends, who heard of the killing, burnt down
a building where the said friend was living in a rented apartment.
Police
spokesman, DSP Uwoh Noble, when contacted, said he was yet to be briefed on the
matter.
