Cult war: Police commissioner reads riot act to cultists in Anambra

Anambra State Police Commissioner, CP Aderemi Adeoye, weekend, read the riot Act to cultists and other criminals in the State, vowing to deal with them ruthlessly.

Referring mostly to cultists in Awka, the State capital, the Commissioner, who described the cultists as murderers, said they were not fit to live among decent human beings in the society.

He described those sponsoring the cultists to kill humans like them as cowards who should cover their faces in shame.

He vowed that the Police Command would come down very hard on the heartless cultists who take pleasure in killing people, warning that no one should call him for the release of any cultist arrested in the coming clampdown unless they wanted to be disgraced.

The Commissioner has ordered an all-out operation against cultists and their sponsors in the State, assuring the good people of Anambra State that their peace and tranquillity that was punctured by the recent cult-related killing in the capital would soon be restored. 

He solicited the cooperation of all law-abiding citizens in ridding the society of the menace of cultism, even as he pledged through the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, (DSP), not to disclose the identity of informants.
