Governor Okorocha gives shoot-at-sight order for cultists in Imo state

A bit harsh, or you approve? In a bid to tackle the increasing spate of cult activities in the state, the Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha yesterday, July 25th gave a shoot-at-sight order for cultists to security operatives attached to Ohaji Egbema LGA where 6 people were killed during a clash between two rival cult groups known as Day-Gbam and Day-Well. Lol. See name of cults.

The governor gave the directive when he paid a visit to the troubled local government area, plagued with cult activities, where residents are said to be living in constant fear.

The governor inaugurated an Anti-Cult Task Force, which comprises of the Army, Police, SSS and the Imo Security Network, and gave them an order to shoot cult members at sight. The anti-cult task force will be deployed to troubled areas in the state to search for and move into cultists’ dens as part of measures to improve security situation in the State.

      True harsh but accepted.. Cultist are like armed robbers and assasins. They have no mercy and would kill anyone who dares stop them.

    Way too harsh. Abuse of power if u ask me. A person remains a suspect until proven guilty only then can you decide what approach of punishment to take. What if you shoot on sight only to realise the person was innocent. Rochas should face other pressing matters in Imo including poor road networks, unemployment and untidy environment to mention a few. prettyprecious0018@yahoo.com

    Linda u dey laff abi for ur info deygbam and deywell were two prominent and strong group that almost ruined portHarcourt from borokiri to diobu they held reign supreme until the police dislodged them.
    so if the governor of imo state says shoot at sight it is shoot sight it is a welcome development only the innocent would get claimed in this war and a lot of people will b setup security forces need to be careful and investigate

    Governor Rochas Okorocha shoot-at-sight order for cultists (or ANYONE) in Imo state is the most bizarre, idiotic and myopic statement of the month. BUNKERS. Is he calling for JUNGLE JUSTICE? Is he calling for EXTRAJUDICIAL PUNISHMENT? Is Rochas Okorocha calling for EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING? How about the RULE OF LAW? Are there no JUDICIARY in Imo State? Does Nigeria not have a CONSTITUTION? How did a stupid and ignorant man get elected as a State Governor? Rochas Okorocha, how about if someone was wrongly accused? How about a shoot-at-sight justice for corrupt politicians? How about a shoot-at-sight justice for moronic politicians? Rochas Okorocha, for your information, this is 2014, not 1914. In a civilised society, victims, criminals and none criminals have rights. In a civilised society where there is rule of law, if someone breaks the law, they are arraigned before a court of law, not unlawfully deprived of their Human Rights and not unlawfully deprived of their right to a fair trial. In Nigeria, when intellectually challenged, but devious and crafty politicians are looting the treasury and impoverishing the masses, they intentionally make bizarre and alarming statements and divert public attention and occupy the public's mind in foolishness and frivolous debates, while they are enriching themselves and stashing their loots in PROPERTIES IN EUROPE, SOUTH AFRICA AND AMERICA and truckloads of £££s, €€€s & $$$s in OFFSHORE TRUSTS.

    Rochas has clearly shown he is unfit to hold any public post. How can he sanction extrajudicial killing?
