The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Thursday in Abuja has directed the police and other law enforcement agencies to confront head-on, groups seeking to bring disorder and destroy the peace in Ogun State
before they gain strength.
In the same vein, he called on parents and religious leaders to caution their youths against the recent spate of murder, kidnappings and sexual assault by rival cult groups in Ogun State.
According to a statement signed late Thursday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari was reacting to reports reaching him on the renewed cult violence between the Eiye and Aiye cult groups which has persisted for over a week, following the killing of key leaders of both groups.
It read in part, “What should frighten us is that the deadly cult groups are increasingly attracting lonely, anxious, troubled youth who they trap in unorthodox social practices.
Parents and religious leaders must come to grasp what is going on and halt the radicalization of our youth.”
