There are mixed feelings in Ebonyi State among residents over Governor David Umahi’s clampdown on cultists and their sponsors in the state. The governor had during a special thanksgiving service, last Sunday, at the Christ Embassy Church, Abakaliki, vowed to deal with cultists and their sponsors.
Umahi had said, “In the past few days, we have terrible cult activities. But let me warn that we are starting war against cultism. There are big people that are involved and I will not spare you. I will not spare you and our trouble will not be here; you will be taken to Abuja.’’
