A 25-year-old man simply identified as Osamame Isekhuere (aka Black
Arrow) was weekend shot dead in Benin by his friend while trying to
test the efficacy of charms in his possession popularly known as
‘Africa Insurance’.
The
shooting which occurred at the Oba market, at the centre of Benin
metropolis forced many traders in the market to lock up their shops and
run for their lives following riots occasioned by the killing.
Vanguard 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 his body and he decided to test it with live bullets.
According to the source, 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 - a rented apartment.
Police spokesman, DSP Uwoh Noble, when contacted by Vanguard said he was yet to be briefed on the matter.
