Sanwo-Olu Reveals What Would Be Done For Cult Boys Who Leave Their Cult

The Lagos State Government yesterday noted that plans are already in place to grant amnesty to repentant cultists and to reform those with criminal inclinations.

this was disclosed by the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu while briefing newsmen after the State Security meeting at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.

According to him, “there is a programme coming up, hopefully before the end of the year to provide amnesty for cultists and people with criminal tendency.

The security council believes we can open up the period of amnesty for them. We want them to come forward to turn new leave.  I don’t want to use the word rehabilitate,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu further warned that pipeline vandals and criminal elements currently around the Atlas Cove and Tarkwa Bay to stop their dubious activities or get out of the State.

The governor who also revealed that maintenance of peace and security, particularly as the year drew to an end was discussed extensively, said residents should desist from locking up their street gates, adding that such an act often impede security operatives and that if any gate must be shut at all, it should be manned by persons who could open them during emergencies.

In his words: “We want to communicate with our CDAs and CDCs that closure of gates are things that we will review seriously because a lot of breeches occur. We want to keep all the gates open during the day and ensure that they are manned at night.  

If they are found under lock and key, notices will be given to them and thereafter such gates will be removed.” The governor pointed out that the Nigerian Army was currently conducting the 4th edition of its operation Crocodile Smile in the State and that Lagosians should not be alarmed at seeing many armed soldiers around them.
