Ogun State Police Command has granted cultists in the state a one-month amnesty, starting from Tuesday July 11th to renounce their memberships of various cult groups.
The new Commissioner of Police in the State, CP Abiodun Alamutu, made the announcement while addressing newsmen at the Police Headquarters, in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
According to the Police boss, the amnesty will afford the cultists opportunity to surrender arms and ammunition in their possession.
CP Alamutu warned that at the expiration of the amnesty period, the command will clamp down on all known and unknown cultists who are perpetrating crimes in the State.
He stated that the new leadership of the police force in the state would not fold its arms and allow unscrupulous elements make life unbearable for law-abiding residents.
CP Alamutu explained that the amnesty was as a result of some people being lured and trapped into cultism without knowing the implications of what they are into.
“However, we are aware that some people were lured into cultism without knowing the implication, and so they got trapped.
“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.
“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.”
