The Rivers State Deputy Governor, Dr. Ipalibo Harry Banigo has enjoined youths in the state to embrace peace and shun all form of cult activities that could cut-off their destiny, following the rise of cult clashes in some communities.
In a statement released by her Press Secretary, Paul Damgbor, Dr. Banigo condemned the recent cult clashes at Aluu community and Ahoada which led to unfortunate killings of some persons, adding that the Wike-led administration has effectively mobilised security agencies to ensure that perpetrators of the heinous crimes are fish-out to face the weight of the law.
While commending the administration of Wike for determination to tackle the issue of crimes and criminality head-on, Dr. Banigo called on parents to advise their children and wards against negative peer groups and imbibe good moral values.
She said, Youths are like the future leaders, they should channel their energies and attention to the God’s given potentials rather than resorting to acts that would lead to their destruction.
