Authorities of the Lagos State Police Command said on Thursday that the Police have received credible intelligence that members of some unlawful societies such as the Aiye, Eiye, Black Axe, Buccaneers, etc. are going round town serving notices to rival cult gangs in the neighbourhood that they would be converging on Saturday 7/7/ 2018 at yet to be disclosed locations within their domains. Â
According to available information, the 7th day of the 7th month is sacred to these outlaws. Â
It is also a day they settle scores with rival cult groups and a day of outright brigandage and anomie. Â

“And those that gathered will be visited with the full weight of the law.  Â
“He reiterates that no cult group will be allowed to compromise the peace daily nurtured by men and women of goodwill  in the state and maintained by the police. Â

“In the same vein, the CP urges parents to warn their children who are members of these nefarious associations not only to renounce cultism, but denounce it in all its ramifications.Â
