The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Imohimi Edgal, has ordered policemen in the state to shoot any cultist
found with firearm.
The Police boss vowed that he was
determined to put an end to cult-related clashes in the state.
Edgal, who made this remark while
addressing security stakeholders at the Area M, Police Command, Idimu, Lagos,
warned youths to stay away from crime as he would no longer tolerate such act
in the state.
He also explained that he
discovered during interactions with stakeholders at the ongoing security Town
Hall meetings across the state that most areas don’t experience violent crimes
such as robberies and kidnappings, but suffered from huge cult-related
activities, which, he said, had claimed many lives.
His words: “Cultism is currently
a very serious issue we must tackle in Lagos State and everyone must be
involved. I am fully out to tackle it head-on and I urge parents to warn their
children to stay out of cultism and turn a new leaf because I am coming for
them.
“The era where cultists
apprehended with firearms are treated with kid gloves is over. I have ordered
my men to shoot at any cultist who is seen with a fire arm. This is not a joke,
parents must take this message home to their children and warn them to desist
from all cult-related activities henceforth.
“I have also strengthened the
Anti-Cultism Department of the Lagos State Police Command and I have directed
them to move all out to track all cultists operating within the state.”
