The Anambra State Police Command, Friday, said it would clamp down on cultists in the state.
The state police commissioner, CP Aderemi Adeoye, who described cultists as ‘murderers’, gave the warning following reports of cult-related attacks and killings in Awka.
Aderemi’s warning was contained in a statement by the command’s public relations officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga.
According to Ikenga, “Anambra State police commissioner, Aderemi Adeoye, has vowed to clamp down on cultists running amok in the state capital, Awka.
“The commissioner, who described the cultists as murderers, said they are not fit to live among decent human beings in the society. He described those sponsoring the cultists to kill humans like them as cowards and should cover their faces in shame.
“He vowed that the police command will come down very hard on the heartless cultists who take pleasure in killing people. He warned that no one should call him for release of any cultist arrested in the clampdown unless they want to be disgraced.”
The commissioner, therefore, ordered ‘an all-out-operation against cultists and their sponsors in the state’, assuring the people of Anambra State that ‘their peace and tranquility that was punctured by the recent cult-related killing in the capital will soon be restored’.
The CP solicited the cooperation of all law-abiding citizens in ‘ridding the society of the menace of cultism’.
