The Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area on Monday cautioned cultists in the area to desist from their activities or face the ultimate consequences.
The Executive Chairman of the LCDA, Dele Oshinowo, read the riot act while responding to some residents’ concerns.
The concerns centred mainly around the nefarious activities of cultists in different parts of the council.
Oshinowo, who spoke at a Stakeholders’ Engagement on Peace and Security Issues in the council, said his administration had a marching order to hunt down all cultists.
He urged residents and parents not to hide the criminals but identify and report them.
He said: “Our parents and our youths must wake up and report these criminals.
“We cannot do it alone without your support.
“If you give the council and security agencies 100 percent support, many of the security issues will end.
“Cultists do not deserve to live among us because they are murderers.
“If you know you are a member of any cult group, stay away from this council now.
“We will not have mercy on you when we pick you up.

“We are hunting you and the security is coming for you now more than ever before.
“We will pick you up and destroy you.”
Appealing to cultists to desist from cultism, Oshinowo said he would not allow anybody to destroy Agboyi Ketu.
He said he had got reports of the evils of cultists in some part of the council, adding that the time of the perpetrators would be up soon.
Oshinowo decried that some parents were supporting their children, who are cultists.
