That very incentive must be destroyed to deter others from following the destructive path of cultism. The same way properties of Kidnerppers are demolished. The action is well justified.

Saturnalia:
It is better they are destroyed to serve as deterrent to other incorrigible cultists, otherwise they will find a way to recover their properties in the future when another Governor is elected.

Crime Never Pays!

Kastonkastroll:
Well this is very good. I applaud whoever is carrying out the demolition and I hope innocent guys houses aren't involved!

No society needs those yahoo boys or cultists!

BodePolScience:
I want to believe the demolishments have court backings otherwise those actions are jungle justices and anarchical acts.

erad:
The "why can't they just use the buildings for something else instead of destroying it" crew will soon get here.

You don't respond to violence with a handshake.

IJAYA001:
You will seize a building belongs to cult and converted it to another thing, I just dey pity you in advance they will come back on the new occupants in a brutal way even if it is after 20years.

izicode1:
You are a suspect. A confirmed cultist is an armed robber, criminal and all sorts of evil.

So, all he acquired are ill-gotten.

Yet tony kabaka's house and hotel is still standing firm.

Many of them use the criminal influence they have to extort people, typical example is witnessed on daily basis here in Port Harcourt markets

SeeWahala:
At least we acknowledge that kidnappers collect millions in ransom used to buy and develop properties and assets.

Pray tell, how do cultists generate their own income to buy land and build houses? 🤔

Is it when they kpai person that money gets paid into their accounts or when they scream 'egede' their bank accounts get larger? 🤷🏾‍♂️

pdppower:
Why destroy the houses? Why not just seize them and convert them to something that will benefit the state later on.

bluefilm:
This is so sad

MrSly:
They are used as hit men, hired assassins, armed robbery agents and when they deliver money flows to their account.

maasoap:
Not justified at all.
Kidnappers are using their buildings for holding their victims captives. Some state already have laws that buildings that are found being used for kidnapping activity should be destroyed while states that don't have such law can approach the court with evidences on why such buildings should be destroyed.
But this one, if there is no law or court order, it is jungle justice

AhmedPeacemaker:
The Edo State Government has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy towards cultism and continues to carry out intelligence-led operations across the state. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activities to help security agencies restore safety to their communities.

As the clampdown continues, more properties with established links to cult activities are expected to be demolished, reinforcing the government’s declaration that there is no safe haven for cultists in Edo State.

They should confiscate and sell those properties and use the proceeds to provide services to the people.

I understand why they’re doing it though. If you don’t demolish them, the next government may give it back to them or it becomes a hideout for criminals due to lack of good policing

Watch many of those commending this move, they’re the same people criticizing Peter Obi for doing same. Trust whatever comes out of their mouths at your peril.

SeeWahala:
You have a point . . . But is this your fact true for EVERY SINGLE CULTIST both those still in secondary schools to those who are doing their businesses as elderly people? 🤔

MrSly:
But you are not sure whether there is court order or not. So it is assumed the state law backed their actions. However, in my ordinary citizens understanding and as a person who have seen activities of these cultists I support the action.

SeeWahala:
Did the confra give the house owners the money they used in building? Is the confra a money making business?

Why destroy properties that have no monetary ties to being in a society? Did they scream aye or eiye and money came from somewhere to enable them build houses? 🤔
