The command displayed weapons, including machetes, guns, axes and dagger reportedly surrendered by repentant cultists, who gave their lives to Jesus Christ at Salvation Ministry Church, Port Harcourt.

Ahmed applauded the church for converting sinners, saying the act was in conformity with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police to mop-up arms.

He pledged the commitment of the police to protect life and property.
