Over 557 cultists in Rivers State have accepted peace and surrendered their weapons to the state police command. The cultists, who were members of different cult groups in Bodo and other communities in Gokana Local Government Area of the state, said they made the decision in the interest of peace. The arms submission was the conclusion of a disarmament exercise and a special delivery session at the Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church in Bodo community that commenced in the area earlier this month. Speaking, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Joseph Mukan, said the arms retrieval was jointly carried by the security agencies, adding that the repentant cultists would be closely monitored to ascertain their honesty.
