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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
