The Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, Monday Agbonika, has warned parents, guardians, hoteliers, lounges and bars owners in the State against serving as a harbour for these criminals.
He gave the warning against the backdrop of alleged potential security breaches during the Neo Black Movement (NBM) Founder’s Day.
The NBM, otherwise known as Aye Confraternity, celebrates its Founder’s Day ceremony on July 7, every year, officially known as 7/7 Day.
The CP in a statement late Sunday night by the Command’s Spokesman, CSP Moses Yamu, also warned hospitality business owners not to allow any unlawful gathering in their business places, or face the wrath of the law.
He further appealed to the general public to be security conscious and promptly report any suspicious gatherings or activities around them to the Police.
“Following intelligence reports received by the Command that certain cult groups are planning to cause mayhem on 7/7, which is an annual event, the Edo State Police Command has in a proactive move, made deployments across the State to ensure that there’s no breakdown of law and order,” the statement said.
