The Ekiti State police command has warned hotel owners, landlords and recreation centres not to release their facilities for any cult-related activities, saying anyone found culpable would be prosecuted.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Sunday Abutu, in a statement on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti on the planned celebration of the July 7 annual date by the cultists, explained that their activities remained illegal and against the law and that the police would not be allowed the ongoing peace being enjoyed in the state to be disrupted.
He disclosed that the commissioner of police, Moronkeji Adesina, had ordered the area commanders and other top officials of the command to be alert in order, “to nip in the bud any act capable of truncating the peace of the state.”
According to him, “It was reliably gathered that on the said day of the celebration, new members would be inducted and there would be supremacy battle which is usually characterised by violence.
