Disturbed by the rising cases of ritualism in Ogun State, the
Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, yesterday ordered his men to
shoot on sight any suspect.
He gave this order while parading 23 suspected cultists, kidnappers,
armed robbers and ritualists at the command headquarters, Eleweran,
Abeokuta.
Ali said the crime rate had become alarming, adding that it had become
imperative for all stakeholders to wake up to their responsibilities and
make the state free from the nefarious activities of criminals.
Ali said, “criminal activities are becoming alarming everyday in the
state and drastic action has to be taken. Ritualists’ are killing
people. We won’t tolerate that. When you see them in action, they should
shoot on sight. When you see them perpetrating the act, bring them
down. Once you find any policeman that is not discharging his duty
correctly, please report such.
The CP also disclosed that a suspect had been arraigned over the killing
of 85-year-old market leader in Ijebu-Ode, Alhaja Elewuju, promising
that a suspect who kidnapped a 20-month-old boy, Emmanuel Ogundele,
about 12 days ago at the christening of a baby in Abeokuta, would soon
be arrested.
