Edo Rights Group Accuses Uromi DPO of Harassing Activist, Demands Police Action

The Edo State Civil Society Coalition for Human Rights has accused the Divisional Police Officer of Uromi Division, CSP Monday Agbon, of intimidation, abuse of office, and targeted harassment of activist Comrade General Henry Oziegbe.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the coalition said Oziegbe, a known social justice advocate, has faced sustained reprisals allegedly linked to his criticism of police extortion and systemic injustice in Uromi.

The group disclosed that multiple petitions had earlier been submitted to the Edo State Commissioner of Police, accusing the DPO of extortion, bribery, and abuse of authority. Rather than submit to investigation, the coalition alleged, the officer responded with threats, intimidation, and attempts to criminalise the activist.

According to the statement, jointly signed by Coordinator Marxist Kola Edokpayi and Secretary-General Comrade Aghatise Raphael, the DPO allegedly threatened to fabricate charges against Oziegbe and later branded him a cultist—an accusation the coalition described as false, reckless, and dangerous.

The coalition further claimed that following a directive from the Commissioner of Police to review one of the petitions, the DPO sought to use the Anti-Cultism Unit in Benin City to arrest Oziegbe. However, the unit reportedly declined after finding no factual or evidentiary basis for the allegations.

“The Anti-Cultism Unit, acting with commendable professional integrity, refused to comply after establishing that the claims were entirely unfounded,” the group said.

Describing Oziegbe as “a conscientious dissenter and defender of the oppressed,” the coalition argued that any attempt to arrest or detain him would amount to a violation of his constitutional rights. Citing Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), it warned against arbitrary arrest, detention, or enforced disappearance.

The group also stated that any harm or unlawful action against the activist would be held personally against the DPO and any officers involved.

Consequently, the coalition called on the Inspector-General of Police, the Police Service Commission, the National Human Rights Commission, and other oversight bodies to intervene, investigate the allegations, and prevent what it described as a growing culture of impunity.

“We will not capitulate. We will not be intimidated. An injury to one remains an injury to all,” the coalition declared.

Troops in Delta State recovered one locally made pistol, two cartridges and five mobile phones while arresting two suspected cultists. Security forces further recovered 76 rustled cattle in Plateau State and handed them back to their rightful owners.

In the South-South, anti-oil theft operations led to the shutdown of an illegal refining site with about 1,000 litres of stolen crude, while joint raids with NDLEA led to the arrest of 25 drug-related suspects. Meanwhile, in Kaduna State, troops intercepted vehicles transporting 5,000kg of gelatine explosives, 3,000m of cordtex fuse, 10 electric detonators and 1,000m of connecting wire, prompting ongoing investigations involving other security agencies.

Additionally, troops arrested notorious gunrunner Shuaibu Isah (aka Alhaji) who was attempting to receive 1,000 rounds of ammunition from accomplices still being trailed. His arrest marked one of the most significant breakthroughs of the period.

The Nigerian Army reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding all Nigerians and ensuring that terrorists, criminals and their collaborators have no safe haven.

The Ondo State Police Command has arrested 13 suspected criminals, including kidnappers, cultists, armed robbers, vehicle thieves, fraudsters, and burglars, in a series of operations across Owo, Akoko, Ondo, and Akure. Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Lawal, disclosed this at the weekend in Akure

Intense heat on suspected cultists, kidnappers in Edo as government demolished 4 houses, arrested about 20 suspect.

The Edo State government’s sustained offensive against kidnapping and cult-related activities has resulted in the demolition of four houses and arrest of about 20 suspects by the state’s Special Security Squad, codenamed “Operation Flush Out Cultists and Kidnappers”.

Intense Heat on Suspected Cultists, Kidnappers in Edo as Govt Demolishes 4 Houses, Arrests About 20 Suspects
One of the buildings brought down, located on Egbiadokhai Street, behind Otaru Primary School in Auchi belonged to a wanted cultist known as Too-Believe.

Itua said the building, which served as a regular meeting point for members of the Black Axe Confraternity, yielded alarming evidence with two cut-to-size guns, two black beret caps associated with Black Axe cultists, and one sharp axe found in the house.

According to the statement, “Too-Believe, who is currently on the run, is deeply embedded in cult operations in the region. The recent operation follows the brutal killing of a young man (a barber) in South Ibie, an act tied to rival cult clashes”.

He said another demolished house in Anoguele Street, Iyakpi, South-Ibie, belonged to a cultist named Kuwat, who was said to be a member of the Eiye Confraternity. “When security agents arrived at his residence, he had already fled. Kuwat was named as the main mastermind of the recent killing of the barber”, Itua stated.

The statement further disclosed that “A property in the Ogodomiza Area in Ibie-Nafe belonging to another cult leader was also demolished. The house was earlier raided a day before, which led to the arrest of two young men, Momoh Austin (17) and Joseph Oyazojo (21). The suspects confessed they were brought to the area to engage in cybercrime activities commonly referred to as Yahoo Yahoo.
Another member of the security squad, Eribo Emwanta, added: “We are advising parents and hotel owners to be vigilant. We are cleaning out these communities, and hotels harboring criminals are next.”
Itua said, “The mass demolition of the properties belonging to suspected cultists in Edo State sends a powerful message as Edo authorities enforce the Secret Cult and Similar Activities (Prohibition) Law 2025, which prescribes life imprisonment or a minimum of 21 years for cult membership”.

The law also provides that landlords or property owners who permit cult meetings risk at least 10 years in prison, alongside forfeiture and demolition of the property.
Reaffirming Edo State Government’s zero-tolerance of cultism, with aggressive enforcement and intelligence-led operations across the State, the statement encouraged citizens to report suspicious activities to help secure their communities.

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has issued a stern ultimatum to cultists, kidnappers, and ritualists to vacate the state or face the full weight of the law.

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.

Governor Soludo Sacks 8 Vigilantes for Brutal Assault of Female Corp Members in Anambra State.

The Anambra State Government has dismissed eight operatives of the Agunechemba Security outfit for assaulting and publicly stripping a female corps member, Jennifer Elobor.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s Special Adviser on Community Security, Ken Emeakayi, announced the dismissal on Wednesday at the agency’s headquarters in Awka. He said the operatives would be handed over to the police for prosecution.

According to Emeakayi, the officers had been chasing suspected cultists on Tuesday when they attacked the corps member—an act he described as “totally outside the agency’s mandate and utterly condemnable."

He stressed that the Soludo administration would not tolerate brutality, abuse of office, or unprofessional conduct, warning that any officer found guilty of misconduct would face dismissal and legal action.

Despite appeals from the victim’s family and NYSC officials for a quiet resolution, the state government insisted on pursuing justice to serve as a deterrent.

Emeakayi added that the government had settled the victim’s medical expenses, replaced her damaged belongings, including a laptop and phone and issued a public apology to her family, the NYSC, and the public.

He said the incident would mark a turning point in reforming the outfit and restoring public trust in community security operations.

Suspected Eiye Cultists Brutally Kill Rival Member in Lagos.

According to a report by PUNCH on Monday, August 11, 2025, a man believed to be affiliated with a rival cult group has been brutally killed by suspected members of the Eiye confraternity in the Alaba area of Lagos State, marking yet another violent incident in the ongoing wave of cult-related attacks across the city.

The victim, identified only as Hope, was seen in a disturbing video circulating online shortly before his death. In the footage, reportedly recorded by his assailants, the visibly shaken man is seated on the floor while being questioned. He quietly states, “My name is Hope. I live on Abanise Street,” before the recording ends.

A second clip, lasting under half a minute, shows Hope lying lifeless with severe machete wounds to his neck and face. The chilling nature of the recording has drawn widespread condemnation from Lagos residents and social media users alike.

Several people who claimed to have known the deceased described him as a peaceful and reserved individual who avoided trouble. One person lamented that the killing was senseless and undeserved, while others called for urgent action from law enforcement to stem the surge in cult violence.

“This is heartbreaking,” one acquaintance wrote on social media. “I knew him personally calm, respectful, and always ready to resolve conflict without anger. Seeing him die like this is devastating.”

Another user urged the authorities to intervene decisively, warning that cult-related killings were becoming increasingly frequent and brazen in the state.

When contacted, Lagos State Police Command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin did not provide a response regarding possible arrests or investigations linked to the murder.

This latest attack follows a similar incident on July 19 in the Ojo-Igbede area, where gunmen on a motorcycle killed a man in broad daylight. Witnesses said the victim had just stepped out to buy food when the armed men forced him to kneel before shooting him at close range.

The repeated violence has left many residents of Lagos deeply unsettled, with calls growing louder for increased police presence and decisive action to dismantle cult networks operating in the city.
