THE Director-General, Security Matters, Delta State, Hon. David Tonwe has charged every household in the state to be proactive and vigilant in order to curb the rising cases of cult related killings.
Tonwe made the call recently while addressing journalists in Ughelli, following renewed concerns over violent clashes linked to cult activities in parts of the state.
He frowned at parents and guardians who fail to properly monitor their wards, stressing that lack of parental guidance has contributed significantly to the growing involvement of youths in cultism and drug abuse.
The Director-General assured that the state government would thoroughly investigate reports of cultists infiltrating public institutions, noting that decisive actions would be taken against anyone found culpable.
He warned youths to desist from drugs, violence and cult activities, reminding them that “life has no duplicate” and that criminal choices often lead to irreversible consequences.
Tonwe called on community leaders, parents and security agencies to work together to restore peace and protect lives and property across Delta State.
