LG boss warns youths against cultism

The Caretaker Committee chairman of Ogba/Ebema/Ndoni Local GovernmentArea of Rivers State, Mr. Isaac Umejuru, has warned youths to shun cultism, saying his administration will not tolerate such menace.


Umejuru who stated this at St Michael’s Anglican Church Omoku, while receiving a peace award during the father’s day celebration, noted that cultism was a major challenge confronting the development of the area.

Umejuru who lamented that cult and other criminal activities were forcing oil multinational companies in the area to relocate, warned that criminal activites would no longer be tolerated.

He urged parents to advice their children against cultism, stressing that it was the only way to eradicate the menace in the area.

 According to him, “I want to use this opportunity to call on our fathers to tell our youths to toe the line of peace.

 Let us commit them in prayers, because in a society where there is no peace, there will be no meaningful development. And I believe, the God we serve will bring back the desired peace in ONELGA.”
