No fewer than 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.
