The IG has therefore mandated state police commands to ensure the cultists are stopped
In Rivers state, spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement titled, ‘Planned Cult Celebration By The Neo Black Movement, Aka Aiye Or Black Axe,’ she alerted the public to the alleged planned mass Founder’s Day celebration of the suspected cult group which is believed to be planned for Sunday, 7th July.
“The event, code-named AIYE Day or 7/7 is meant to be observed in all states of the federation, especially in higher institutions of learning,” the statement read.
“The Command is aware of the antecedents of the Neo-Black movement, notorious for killings on campuses, inter-cult clashes and excessive violent conduct among other criminal actions.
“We estimate that the annual AIYE DAY celebration will likely be held in the cult group’s dens and strongholds, especially in tertiary campuses nationwide.
