Monitor Your Tenants : Ohonbamu Advises Edo Landlords

Edo State Government is resolute in the war against cultism,  just as land lords have been advised  to monitor their tenants to avoid the wrath of the law.

The Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon Paul Ohonbamu gave the advice  during a Press Conference in Benin City.

According to the Commissioner, "any land lord whose building is discovered to be accommodating cultist will face the wrath of the law.

"The state government has declared that cult-related activities would be aggressively tackled, with perpetrators and their enablers facing the full weight of the law.

"This firm stance justifies 

the demolition of buildings 

where crimes are committed, 

as part of efforts to eliminate 

criminal hideouts.*

Ohonbamu therefore urged landlords 

to monitor their tenants closely and avoid harbouring individuals involved in cultism or 

any form of criminality.

 While warning that property owners  found complicit in such activities would  face sanctions, Hon Ohonbamu also called on  parents to instil moral discipline in their children. 

The Commissioner said that no building has been demolished without credible evidence of criminal activity or direct confessions by 

those involved. 

"Parents who ignore this warning  or fail to correct the delinquent behaviour of their chil-

dren would be seen as 

accomplices to crime.

"The state government has intensified its fight 

against crimes such as cultism, ritual killings, herdsmen attacks, and  illegal possession of firearms," the Commissioner added.
