Fight to finish, Buhari tells security agencies
Meanwhile, President Buhari had called on security agencies in Ogun to give a 'fight to finish' to stem the tide of cultism and cult-related activities in the state.
The president made this call through a statement on Thursday, March 31, after cultists killed over 16 people in the state within 10 days.
A battle between the Eiye and Aiye cult groups in the state led to the killing of a popular area boy, known as Tommy, and 15 others.
Worried by the spate of killings, President Buhari, through his media aide, Garba Shehu, ordered security agencies to dismantle cultists or cult-related activities in the state.
The president in a statement said:
“What should frighten us is that the deadly cult groups are increasingly attracting lonely, anxious, troubled youth who they trap in unorthodox social practices.”
