Following the cultist’s celebration day 7/7 of the Black Axe Confraternity, also known as the Neo-Black Movement of Africa, Nigerian policemen have staged their ground in Lagos and Ogun state.
This, however, was to prevent any act of violence that comes with a day like this.
Police also warned hoteliers not to allow their facilities to be used for any cult-related gathering, as owners of such facilities will be liable for prosecutions.
More so, the police’s statement is contained in a press statement released by the Ogun and Lagos police spokespersons, Abimbola Oyeyemi and Muyiwa Adejobi respectively.
“Intelligence report at the disposal of Ogun State Police Command, reveals that members of various unlawful cult groups are planning to mark what they called “7/7” on Wednesday, being 7th of July, 2021.
“The report also revealed that the event may result in bloodletting and wanton destruction of properties,” Mr Oyeyemi said in the statement.
“To this end, all the Command’s tactical squads namely: SWAT, Anti-Cultists, Anti-kidnapping as well as the DPOs and Area Commanders have been put on red alert to nip in the bud any act capable of undermining the security of the State.
“The full weight of the law will descend on members of any unlawful societies who intend to use public places to perpetrate evil, as the Command will not fold its arms, while some misguided and unscrupulous elements attempt to make life difficult for law-abiding citizens of the State,” the Ogun police said.
