The Anambra State governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has vowed that his government will go after cultists whose clash caused the deaths of at least 13 people in Nibo Community of Anamabra State.
The victims were said to have lost their lives on Sunday when two rival cults clashed in the community located in Awka South Local Government Area of the state.
Soludo said, “Every avoidable loss of life in Anambra shatters my heart, especially when young lives are cut short. The mindless violence between rival cults in our communities is heartbreaking.
“Yesterday’s tragic incident in Nibo, where young lives were lost, is unacceptable. We have an anti-cultism law in place, and I have ordered immediate action against those involved.
“But laws alone aren’t enough. Parents and community leaders, let’s join forces to protect our youth! We can’t sit back while our children destroy themselves.
“Let’s take action at home and in our communities to end cultism. We will continue to pray for the lost souls and work towards a safer Anambra where people will live by the law and draw lessons from this avoidable tragedy.”
