The Ogun state police command has issue a one month notice for cultists in the state to surrender.
The warning was made on Tuesday by the New Police Commissioner in the state, Abiodun Alamutu, who said the one month amnesty period will be followed with a total clampdown on the cultists.
The new police boss said his men are prepared to rid the Gateway state of all criminality, urging cultists to surrender their arms immediately.
According to him, policeman will be despatched across the state from August to arrest cultists, adding that those that were innocently lured into their membership should take the window of opportunity now opened to them.
Alamutu said, The Command has opened a window of amnesty to such people. So they should renounce their membership of these groups and surrender all arms and ammunition in their custody.
“They have a period of one month to do that. After the period of one month from today 11th July 2023, there is going to be a total clamp down on all known and unknown cultists who are perpetrating heinous crimes in the State.
“The Command will not fold its arms while some unscrupulous elements will be making life unbearable for the good and law-abiding indigenes and residents of Ogun State.”
Efforts in the past by security agencies to rid the state of cultists, has mostly proved ineffective, as the menace continued to spread, even, among secondary and primary schools in the state.
