…as police arrest over 53 suspects involved in abduction, robbery incidentsThe Enugu State Government has declared war on cultism in the state over recent cases of kidnapping and abduction of victims linked to cult activities, even as the Enugu State Police Command said it has arrested over 53 hoodlums suspected to be members of secret cults fueling incidents of abduction in the state.
He further dispelled most of the alleged kidnapping incidents reported on social media as fake news sponsored by mischief makers, who he said “exaggerate and blow cases of night time abduction and carjacking, most of which were not recent occurrences, out of proportion” in order to create tension and fear in the minds of residents.
But he said that the anti-cultism squad of the Command had been mobilized and placed on the alert to go after the cultists with ruthless measures to flush them out of the state.
