The people of Owube community, Ahoada West Local Government Area have cried out that the cultists, who laid siege to their community, were demanding N500, 000 to grant them peace.
Following the reports, Ikiriko led a team to the community on a fact-finding visit and was shocked to hear further lamentations of the traumatised people. He said: “In 2015 when cultism was out of hand, we wrote a letter to the Commissioner of Police to bring checkpoint to our junction, Ayubukor junction, which shares boundary with Oboburu in ONELGA, where cultism started in Ekpeye.
“We had organized Amnesty in the community where we brought juju and asked them to swear and about 101 boys denounced cultism. But one of them in particular didn’t show up because he was afraid.” Ikiriko, however, noted that no death was recorded in the community since he became the chairman adding that his administration had been proactive to ensure peace in the council.
