CP FCT Task Parents & Religious Leaders on Moral/Spiritual Guidance for Youths; Warns against Cultism

Concerned with the involvement of youths in cult activities, FCT Police Commissioner, Musa Kimo has enjoined parents, guardians and religious leaders to rise up to provide sound moral and spiritual guidance for the youths whose future is seriously being threatened by the menace of cultism.  

Noting that the involvement of the youths in cult activities is causing serious security threat to the society, the CP advised youths to focus more on their education and shun any act that could truncate their future dreams.  

Kimo gave the advice while receiving security brief from Bwari Divisional Police Officer on the arrest of some suspected cultists at Kuduru village.

A statement by DSP Anjuguri Manzah, spokesman of the FCT Command said “The suspects were arrested by police operatives attached to Bwari Division on 22/04/17 at about 3:00pm while responding to a distress call that two rival cult groups were involved in a violent clash over a girl.

“Upon the timely arrival of the police team, seven suspects were arrested.
