A nonagenarian, Pa Ewansiha Owieadolor, his son, and two others are helping the Edo State Police Command in investigating the beheading of a chief priest (Ohen-Ogba), Pa Clifford Omosomwan, 86, on Thursday in Benin.
Pa Omosomwan was attacked at his home. His assailants entered his home through the window of his bedroom.
Owieadolor, 99, is the village head of Aruogba community. The old man and others are being held by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
An eyewitness told The Nation that the nonagenarian and the late chief priest were quarrelling about land.
Police spokesman Osifo Abiodun confirmed the arrest.
“Perpetrators of the dastardly act will not go unpunished. As I speak, we have four persons in our custody. Age has no crime limit. We will not rest until the perpetrators are brought to book,” Osifo said.
