Gov Okpebholo Orders Cultists, Others To Vacate Edo.
Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has directed cultists, kidnappers and criminal elements to immediately leave the state or face the full weight of the law.
The directive followed the demolition of a building in Egbaen Community in Egor local government area, which was used as a base for cult initiation rites and ritual practices.
The operation was carried out by the Edo State Special Security Squad codenamed “Operation Flush Out Cultists and Kidnappers”, working in concert with various security agencies and community stakeholders.
Coordinator of the Security Squad, Idemudia Noah confirmed that the building was linked to one Marvelous Adetarami, a leader of the Maphite cult group who had converted the bungalow into a shrine and meeting point for illegal activities.
“We were here some days ago to seal up this building following allegations of cultism, ritual practices and other nefarious activities of suspected Maphite cult leader Marvelous Adetarami and his members,” Idemudia told journalists at the scene.
He disclosed that despite sealing the premises earlier, intelligence reports confirmed that the suspects resumed their clandestine operations under the cover of darkness.
“We got credible information that the suspected cult leader Marvellous Adetarami and his members still gathered to have their meetings in this sealed bungalow, where the horrible shrine was discovered,” he revealed.
Residents of the area applauded the government’s swift action, expressing relief that a major source of insecurity in the community had finally been neutralised.
