www.odogwublog.com reports that the
people of Ihiala community in Ihiala local government area of Anambra
state has resolved to put an end to the activities of cultists in the
area.
As part of
measure to actualize this dream, a stakeholders metering was held in the
town yesterday to discuss measure to put paid to the menace of the
rampaging cultists who had allegedly killed five people.
In
his address, the President General of Ihiala Progress Union, Chief Jude
Ngobili the peace and stability of the town has been truncated by the
violent juvenile cultists who are killing and kidnapping innocent people
in the town.
He noted
that it is assumed that the rampaging cultists are merely killing and
maiming their own but added that it is only a failed society that would
allow such criminality to continue unabated and that no reasonable
society would accommodate such menace.
Chief
Ngobili pointed out that apart from the immediate danger cultism pose
to the community, he said Ihiala people can not allow their children to
grow up in an environment where people's neck are criminally broken and
people brutally killed to avoid such innocent children growing up to
become barbarians.
The
PG said cultism has grown to an alarming rate in the hitherto sleepy
community as primary school pupils and secondary school students are now
being initiated into the dangerous cult groups which according to him
is an evil wind that would not blow any good to anyone.
He
said that the cultists by nature are so brutal that it is practically
impossible to appeal to their conscience and that the security agencies
are brought in to demonstrate the resolve of the town to meet the
cultists fire for fire.
Chief
Ngobili said further that his people will not allow their town to be
reduced to a theater of war where cultists would be having a field day
like some other communities in the country.
The
Area Commander in charge of Ihiala Area Command of Nigeria Police
Force, Mr Michael Falade(AC) commended the community for resolving to
partner with security agencies to battle cultism.
He
pointed out that security is an intricate issue that calls for
collaboration from every law abiding individuals in the society noting
that the members of the public would be doing well if they make useful
information available to security agencies.
Mr
Falade said the rampaging cultists are not spirits but youths known by
members of the society who are carried on as overlords because the
society has not decided to inform the law enforcement agencies about
their criminal tendencies and activities.
