The case that was supposed to have come up yesterday Tuesday 13th 2022
At the Evbuoriaria magistrate court, comrades were well mobilized in their numbers in the company of Barrister Dele Igbinedion who was prepared to do justice to the matter but unfortunately the case did not hold because of the court’s administrative restructuring.

However, the court assured that the restructuring would be over before the weekend and the case would have been assigned to a court for continuation.

You will recall that
On 26th July 2022, one Bright Omobude a Tricycle rider who was riding his tricycle along Limit road, off Sapele road in Benin City was apprehended by men of the Nigeria police force for riding in an alleged restricted area, accused him of violating Governor’s order and subsequently charged him to court when he refused to settle.

The rally led by the interim TEC chairman Leftist Austine Enabulele sensitised members of the public, reemphasised the dangers of joining secret cults and the extreme level of the killings of human beings, the chairman in his words advised citizens who are already members of these killer cults to take renounce option completely while advising those that have not to join in resisting the option and pressure.

He stressed the need for everyone to join Edo Civil Society Organisations in this campaign while encouraging those that have made the wise choice of renouncing to reach out to us through the following lines:

1. 08032436596
2. 08108674939

He emphasised on why we as a people must understand the gains of living as brothers, using collective energy to demand and fight for the promotion of good governance, social justice and human rights, instead of the senseless colour rivalry and killings which keep reducing our numerical number.

All well-meaning Edolites should join hands with EDOCSO to spread this message to end this evil menace.

The campaign continues on a later date that will be communicated to all and sundry

Say not to cult killings

WE ARE BROTHERS AND NOT RIVALS
