September 19, (THEWILL) – Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said that his administration would soon enact a law that will pronounce the death penalty on anyone caught engaging in cult activities in the state.
“It is well within my powers as the governor of this State to pronounce the death penalty on people and we are going to ensure that we enact that because when people appreciate and understand the consequences of their behaviours, perhaps they will begin to have a rethink.
Governor Abiodun made this known on Tuesday, at a meeting with the Paramount Ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, and his chiefs at the Akarigbo Palace, in Sagamu.
He expressed shock at the wanton destruction of lives and peace of Sagamu and its environs, even as he warned that the government would not fold its arms and watch unscrupulous persons run riots in any part of the State.
He said, “I want to sympathise with the good and law-abiding citizens of Sagamu and of course, our referred paramount ruler and the kabiyesis and all those who have lost loved ones.
