“We have decided to go full blast against cultists and cultism in the State and have now passed an anti-cultism law that will be implemented to its fullest. Additionally, we have banned the activities of Okaigheles (Youth Leaders) in the Edo South Senatorial District of the State.

These were some of the decisions reached after the Security Council Meeting with Service Chiefs in the State, where we reviewed the security situation in Edo State since January 2024, with particular emphasis on the security activities in May.

Council has set up a special task force, headed by the Director of DSS, that will, starting tonight, review every cult-related occurrence in the state. We have declared full war on cultists and Okaigheles in Edo State.

After the meeting, we launched patrol Sienna buses and motorcycles to strengthen the State’s joint security operations.”

Obaseki made the narrative on Mondau, June 3, 2024.
