 Police warned members of cult groups against celebrating 8/8 in Osun state.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Osun State   Command has issued a stern warning against the setting aside of Augus 8 to celebrate cultism in the state.

 The State Police Public Relations Officer,  SP Yemisi Opalola issued the warning in a statement in Osogbo on Wednesday, saying any unlawful gathering would not be tolerated.

DITOR’S PICK:

According to the statement, the command received credible intelligence that some cultism groups were planning to celebrate cultism on Thursday, known as ‘8/8’.

“In view of this, the command, therefore, warns cultists and other unscrupulous elements in the state to jettison the plan or any of such action(s) forthwith as the command is earnestly monitoring their activities.

“Consequently, the command, in collaboration with other security agents and Civilian JTF, will not tolerate any unlawful gathering or assembly that will endanger the peaceful atmosphere of the state, as the plan to mark 8/8 may lead to bloodshedding and destruction of properties,” it said.

It reminded parents and guardians to closely monitor and warn their children and wards to eschew any act likely to contravene provisions of the law.

“The command will not spare anyone who constitutes any threat to law and order.
