Police Heightens Alert Levels in Response to an Upcoming Cultism Day Celebration.
The Ekiti State Police Command has issued a ban on unlawful gatherings following reports of a planned celebration by a specific cult group.
According to a statement by Commissioner of Police Akinwale Adeniran, the command emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards criminal activities within the state.
“It has come to the notice of the Command that a group of criminally-minded individuals, particularly cultists who are members of a particular confraternity, have concluded plans to celebrate cultism on July 7, a day popularly known as 7/7. Information at our disposal indicates that on that day, new members will be inducted, covenants will be renewed, and supremacy battles will occur, usually characterized by violence and bloodshed.
The Command however warns members of secret cults and other criminal organisations in the state to end such illegal and unhealthy celebrations or any actions that could cause unnecessary apprehension or affect the peaceful atmosphere currently being enjoyed in the state.
“The CP has directed all the Area Commanders, Heads of Intelligence and Tactical Units, and the DPOs to be on alert, deploy adequate operatives across their jurisdictions, especially in all identified black spots, and ensure the arrest and prosecution of anyone who undermines this directive as the peace and security of the state can never be traded for any frivolous personal gain.
“Furthermore, the command bans any form of gathering or celebration in all hotels, bars, event or recreation centres, and similar venues across the state on the 7th of July, 2024, except those authorized by the state government or the police authority.”
Parents and guardians are urged to caution their children to obey the law and avoid actions that could lead to disorderly gatherings or assemblies before, during, and after the specified date. The Command, working closely with other security agencies, is prepared to take firm action against any misconduct.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”
Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.
It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”
