Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Stepping up his fight against cultism, Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has urged the Nigerian Police Force and Department of State Services to arrest the President of the Neo Black Movement of Africa, Olorogun Ese Kabor.

In a statement released on Monday, the governor called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the Director General of the DSS to arrest and prosecute the leader of the group.

Monday Okpebholo accused the leader of the Neo Black Movement of Africa also known as Aiye for allegedly forging official state government documents. In the petition, the governor accused Kakor of making fake government documents that falsely approved the assistance he provided across various schools in some parts of the state.

Civil servants who aided the forgery must be tried – Monday Okpebholo

More so, the governor said the act isn’t only illicit but a dent on the integrity of the administrative processes of the state. He labeled the move as a criminal and misleading one, stating that the leader of the Aiye group worked with some civil servants at the low level of the state bureaucracy.

Also, he emphasized that Kakor has implicated the state government employees who assisted him with the forgery. Monday Okpebholo said the civil servants have been tracked down and they are currently in Police custody.

Similarly, the governor narrated that an investigation is ongoing to specify the level of their crime and prosecute them accordingly. He went on to beseech the NPF and the DSS to keep up with their war against cultism.

Monday Okpebholo said every group involved in criminal activities in the state should face the full wrath of the law. He went on to disclose that the Edo state government had revoked the land title of the NBM headquarters in the state.

The statement from the governor came in response to the claims of the NBM group that it had renovated six secondary schools since the commencement of Okpebholo’s administration. More so, the group made the statement after the Edo state government raided and demolished their headquarters.

Responding to the claims, Monday Okpebholo demanded proof of the acclaimed charity work by the group, insisting NBM must publish the name of the schools. He vowed that the state government will sue the group for making such a misleading statement.

Likewise, the governor pledged to continue his fight against cultism by demolishing buildings linked with the group and their rivals. He divulged that the state government will erect a divisional police on the site belonging to the NBM headquarters.
