Bayelsa police take anti-cultism campaign to schools

Simon Utebor, Yenagoa

WORRIED by the spate of crimes, including cult activities, particularly students, the Bayelsa State Police Command has taken its anti-cultism crusade to private and public schools in the state.

The command noted that sensitising the pupils and students to the dangers of crimes was part of the measures to dissuade youths from engaging in criminalities.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Bayelsa State Command, Mr. Mike Vigara, on Tuesday, led a police team on advocacy mission to Billari International School, in the Tombia area of the state capital.

 Vigara, whose campaign theme is, ‘Why young people must shun crime and cultism’, urged students to shun social vices.

 The ACP implored the youths to be courageous in life, and shun any act that could put them into problem thereby resulting in their arrest.

 The police boss said the essence of living was to solve problems of humanity, adding that students were in school to get information on how to solve humanity problems on earth.

 Vigara stated, “Once a person goes into crime, it is always difficult to come out of it. Crime is evil and wicked; it does not pay anyone, but destroys society and the future of the person committing it.

 “Take the massage home to your friends and families that crime can destroy. If the person is caught, he will be arrested by the police for prosecution and the consequences can be unimaginable. Let it be known that criminals do not last long, they will always meet their waterloo.”

 In his remarks, the Principal of the school, Mr. Benjamin Osei-Tutu, commended the police for the campaign against cult activities and other criminalities.
