Oyo police will rid state of cultism, other vices – CP Haruna

Oyo police will rid state of cultism, other vices – CP Haruna
Spread the word The Oyo state Commissioner of Police, CP Femi Haruna, on Friday said the police in the state would be firm, fair, and consistent in ridding the state of cultism and other vices. CP Haruna stated this in Ibadan at the launch of the Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV), held at the Police conference hall, Eleyele, Ibadan. Represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Administration, DCP Abiodun Onuoha, the police boss disclosed that the campaign would move around schools, worship centres, and communities. He said,”The Oyo state Police Command will be firm, fair, and consistent in ridding the state of cultism and other vices. There must be consequences for actions, but also paths for those who wish to renounce and reform. “As we officially launch this campaign to move around Schools, Worship centers, and the community at large, I have provided note books, biros and school bags for donation to any school the team will be visiting.” Continuing, he said, “Let’s be honest, the allure of ‘belonging’ or the promise of ‘protection’ is often how cultism begins. But we know the reality is far different because what starts as a secret handshake ends in fear and intimidation that replaces peace with constant anxiety. “This campaign is not just about posters and speeches; it’s about a shift in culture to see that our students/children choose their circles wisely, a solid reminder to them that true power does not come from weapons or secret oaths but from excellence, integrity, and your ability to lift others up.”
