The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Police Command, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, has commended the Anambra State Government and State House of Assembly members, for the signing into law, a jail term of a minimum of 21 years with no option of fine on any person found culpable of cult-related activities.
This is as he also approved the legal confinement of six months or the option to pay half a million Naira on anyone harassing innocent individuals to obtain illegal tolls or any related activities in the state.
In a press statement signed by SP Ikenga Tochukwu, Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra Police Command, June 12, and made available to Fides, the CP noted that those developments would further re-echo the campaign against touting and cultism, especially the Police advocacy programme: ”Police Campaign against Cultism and Other Vices”, POCAVCO, a programme targeted at sensitizing the youths on the dangers of bad groups, drugs, and other vices.
The CP therefore warned criminal elements in to have a rethink as the Command would make sure that anyone found culpable would face the full weight of the law. He also urged parents/guardians to
admonish their children/wards in this regard.
