He further stated that the trio in a Commando style entered the vehicle and sped off with his cash and goods.
“I have reported the matter at the Anti-Cultism Unit of the state police command headquarters in Benin City.
“The mother of the driver and one ‘Babalawo’ (native doctor) are currently being interrogated by the police”. Mr Imasuen stated.
Contacted, the Public Relations Officer for Edo State Police Command DSP Theodore Okafor said he would comment on the incident on a later date.
