“In 2020, we prosecuted not less than 200 cultists. We also recovered weapons, charms and registers, which they used to initiate themselves,” he said.

The police commissioner called on parents to monitor their children and ensure that they are not idle, warning that anyone found wanting would be punished according to the state’s anti-cultism law.
