Police Commissioner in-charge
of Delta State, Alkali Baba Usman is, no doubt, facing a hard task.
According to Vanguard, in
Oghara, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad raided cult hide outs and arrested 48
members. At Agbor, another cult hot-bed,
about 9 cultists were arraigned recently and are facing the wrath of the
law. At Jesse, about 13 members of
Sparrows Junior Eye, SJE, were arraigned in July, 2015.
More so, at Ibusa, cult
members engaged a SARS team, threw stones at their Hilux van and damaged the
back and front windscreen. At the end,
two of them were nabbed. As a follow up,
the command monitored and arrested 33 male and 2 female members of Supreme
Vikings confraternity also at Ibusa. At
Okwe, we nabbed 9 suspected Aiye 1977 A.S,H. Dodorima cultists during their
meeting.
On the whole, over 252
cultists have been arrested since the beginning of this year and majority of
them have been prosecuted and convicted.
We also succeeded in dealing with several cult-related killings. For instance, last September at Obiaruku, one
Ife Akachukwu, 21, was shot by rival cultists while another unidentified boy
was found dead after sporadic gunshots by rival cultists groups.
At the same Obiaruku, one
Albert Onukaba, 28, was killed by suspected cultists. The three incidents showed that rival
cultists were on a vengeance mission.
