In a letter by the deceased family to the Edo State police boss, the petitioners alleged that the suspected assassins had boasted that they have enough money to spend and nothing would be done to them because of their connection to the high and mighty in the society.
Odaro, who is survived by a pregnant wife and three children aged between one and five years was allegedly killed by the suspected cultists on November 1 at Evbuekoi village in Uhunmwode local government area of Edo State.
The petition which was written by the family council, Mr Afolabi Olayiwola, he said that the victim was attacked by the gang members who beat him to a pulp with a battle axe, gun butt and other dangerous instruments which eventually led to his death.
Afolabi wrote: “It is our brief that the said Lucky Aimuanmwogie (aka Fear Nobody), is a member of a notorious gang that has been terrorising Evbuekoi community for the past few years.
“Several reports have been made to the police in respect of the criminal gang, but they have always tactically evaded arrest. Some of the places where reports have been made include Egba Police Station, State C. I. D and Zone 5 Benin AIG office where the matters are still pending.
“We have earlier written to the Inspector General of Police for investigation about the criminal activities of these people and the IGP has directed you to investigate the matter.”
He pleaded with Kokumo to put all the necessary in motion to apprehend the fleeing culprits while the suspects and his cohorts already in the custody of the police should be made to answer for their deed.
