He said three principal suspects on the murder of the cultist have been arrested in connection with the murder adding that others are being trailed by the police in Anambra state and elsewhere.
He said: “I have ordered a clampdown on all cultists and their activities. This state shall no longer tolerate the violence that erupts now and then in the name of cultism.
“Those who try our will in this regard will have themselves to blame! I urge all youths in the state to shun cultism and embrace meaningful lifestyles.
“In the same vein, all kinds of touting in the state in whatever guise especially in Onitsha will no longer be tolerated.
“Security agencies are hereby directed to arrest anybody hanging on the road with sticks and molesting innocent citizens, drivers etc. The madness must stop.”
