According to letter sent to our office, business owners in the affected communities could no longer operate due to regular clash between the cult groups operating in the areas.
Message sent reads in part: “The evil activities of the area boys have taken different dimension. They have now resorted to intimidation, molestation and unwarranted show of force to prove they are above the law. They sometimes loot peoples stores and rape women, including young girls in broad day light to the extent that residents of those communities can no longer work freely as everyone lives in fear”.
