130 renounce cultism in Ughelli

AT least 130 cultists have renounced their
association with various cult groups in Ughelli,
Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta
State. The former cultists relinquished various
dangerous weapons such as battle axe and
knives which were in their possession as well
as identification cards and vests bearing the
names of their groups. The renounce exercise was carried out during a
church service held at the palace of the Ovie of
Ughelli, HRM Oharisi III at the instance of a
socio-political group, the Rainbow Concerned
Citizens of Ughelli Kingdom and the traditional
ruler. Speaking during the church service, Oharisi III
advised the former cultists never to return to
their nefarious activities to enable them attain
whatever height they desired in the society. He
said the group had the backing of the kingdom
in its quest to flush out cultism from the kingdom. Coordinator of the Rainbow Concerned Citizens
of Ughelli Kingdom, Mr. Elvis Abarovwe said the
body was out to sensitize youths in Ughelli on
the need to desist from cultist and criminal
activities. He appealed to the State and Local
Governments and well meaning individuals to
assist the group financially to enable it achieve
its set objectives.
