‘Some Respectable Members Of Society’ Behind Cultism —Rivers Police Commissioner

The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan, has disclosed that the state command had identified prominent members of the society who are involved in the proliferation of cult related activities in the state.

He however did not disclose their identities.

CP Mukan, who made this disclosure in a live TV Programme monitored by THE WHILSTER in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, promised to bring to book those involved in cultism in the state.

“We have shifted our operation to focus on one notorious cultist, kidnapper and even armed robber who goes by the name VIP. We are on his trail and although our strategies will not be made public, we will get him.

“The issue of cultism as we rightly observed is voluntary and unfortunately, some respectable members of the society are part of these cultists. I cannot mention names but they have been identified and we will take drastic actions to bring them to book.” he said.

The CP further disclosed that operatives of SARS have destroyed two camps used by cultists in Ogoni land.

He said the police are mobilizing heavily to eradicate illegal arms and ammunition in the area and are currently in pursuit of fleeing remnants of the late Boboski’s cult group.

According to him, “Criminality in that axis is centered around one person. Any deadly operation in that axis cannot be completed without the mention of late Boboski. Now that he is out of the scene, the remnants are on their heels. They have decided to leave Ogoni. As of yesterday, we destroyed two of their camps. The third camp which is the biggest camp was completely deserted. What we are doing presently is to mop up the arms in that axis. Ogoni people should be assured that peace has finally returned to that axis.” he stated.
