Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has accused the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of sponsoring cultism and criminal activities in the state amid ongoing security operations targeting violent groups.
Okpebholo made the allegation while addressing journalists in Benin City during the demolition of a building in Amagba linked to suspected cultists and the arrest of individuals connected to recent killings.
“Reports coming to me indicate that the ADC is promoting cultism in Edo State. I want to let you know that Akpakomiza might be small, but his caterpillars are not small,” the governor said.
He reiterated that his administration would maintain zero tolerance for cult-related violence and warned that individuals or groups sponsoring criminal activities would face the full weight of the law.
The governor said the ongoing anti-cultism campaign is part of efforts to restore peace and security across Edo State following recent clashes that have resulted in deaths and disruptions to businesses and communities.
Okpebholo assured residents that the government would continue intelligence-led operations and arrests to dismantle cult networks operating in the state.
