Eben Enasco reporting..
For some periods now in Edo State, the 'Ashtaroths' have refused to lay down their weights and seek peace with the society.
Every day, around the City center, a life is dropped to death and this has become reoccurring decimal.
The cry for safety by Citizens have become like “Abiku” calling for the first and the repeated times.
At the last count in one month, near fifty bodies of Edo youths littered the Central Hospital mortuary with more to go as rampaging rivalry Cult groups engaged in fierce supremacy tussles.
The exact death toll of confraternity activities is unclear.
One estimate in 2002 was that 250 people had been killed in campus cult-related murders in the previous decade, while the Exam Ethics Project lobby group estimated that 115 students and teachers had been killed between 1993 and 2003.
However, those figures pale into insignificance when compared with recent cult activities in Benin city, the Edo state capital in 2020, with over 40 cult related deaths recorded monthly.
No cult group in the existence of Nigeria has been rewarded for killing one another.
With the level the Killing spree has taken, the fate of all is seriously beckoned on how one can create his own Security for himself and members of his household.
Trust me no one can be sure the Security architecture in the state still exist.
If over Ten suspected Criminals could escape from a police web at the State Command unnoticed by those on duty, then one would be forced to say something is wrong with the system.
WHO LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.
Those in governments saddled with the responsibility of creating safety environment for its citizenry, have all gone cold because some belongs to either of the warring factions.
If this is true, can a man light a Lamb and put same under a bushel? No!
You can't stop a process you hiddenly support or interested in. Where will you start from?
The Police, The State Government, and the Ashtaroths, all seems to be together in it against harmless Citizens.
In demonology, they have become the Great Duke of Hell in the first hierarchy with Beelzebub and Lucifer which is part of the evil trinity.
Together, they have become a male figure most likely named after the Near Eastern goddess Astarte.
Although, government alone can't be apportioned the blame, Parents, Community heads, Politicians and peer groups are likely sources traced to Cult related violence.
The most extensive accounts of child sacrifice in the Hebrew Bible refers to those carried out in Gehenna by two kings of Judah, Ahaz and Manasseh of Judah which has become a Norm within the ranks.
If the Cult related supremacy tussles between the divide must stop, The Police, The Government, Traditional institutions, Community Heads, Politicians, School Authorities, Youths must be ready to Confront the evil Baal among the people and apply professionalism.
Heads of all Confraternity activism must now come up with strict adherence to aims and objectives of their Various groups.
This is not to suggest that Cultism should be promoted, but let not pretend about its existence, it has come to live with the society.
Stricter laws and total enforcement of same must be promoted to abate this unnecessary tensions occasioned by the serial killings.
In no contest, these people need absolute reorientation to foster a change in mentality and experience with others.
The most annoying part of the scruff is the time and energy put together to commit such forbidden acts.
If they apply that same cumulative energies to initiate human friendly objectives, you will have hundreds of intending members who believes the intention of the group is safe.
To all who had been largely involved in the evil strategic moment, you will someday, account for the role you have been playing.
THE BENEFIT OF THE HASH DECISIONS TO KILL.
In the past couple of years, the only obvious development or benefits over Cult related issues among youths in Edo State is killing one another.
Once there's a little differences between troubled main rivalry groups in Edo, people are killed for a matter that would have been easily settled.
Then, a war is declared by those who are brainless masterminder.
The masterminder, Can you now see hundreds of your relatives, my relatives, our relatives, a father of three, two, are now untimely lying naked in their graves for a decision you perhaps masterminded?
I have no problems that you belong to your choice house, but I have a problem with the Killing mentality.
If you so choose to be a member of a group, use it to develop yourselves and the society.
Can you now justify why a soul you never created is wasted?
Can you really live in peace with your actions.
Most of you did evil because you prepared not your heart to seek the Lord.
That's fine and you can change the same energy for what works.
Although, you may have ignorantly assented to that, remember it's a new year and a new hope.
For those killing agents, yielding yourselves to be used as a tool,
acquaint yourselves with God and be at peace: thereby good shall come into you.
Every man has a cleansing mechanisms to purge himself of the Spirit of Ashtaroth as Joshua 3:5 Says Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for the Lord will Do wonders among you.
THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT, TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AS RESPIRATORY TRACK.
If the Government can't provide safety for the people as a mandate,
that Government poses tendencies to have acute respiratory failure.
When a person has acute
respiratory failure, the usual exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs does not occur.
As a result, enough oxygen cannot reach the heart, brain, or the rest of the body.
This can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, a bluish tint in the face and lips, as well as confusion.
By implications, there's a total disconnect, between the Security Services, The Government and the People.
To arrest the situation, government at all levels must now fathom a way to be connected to the people through jobs creation, proof of credibility, clear intentions of policy framework, youths involvement in governance and creating human friendly projects to Wade off any form of breakdown of law and order.
For the restive Youths who now engages in killing jobs because of system failures, renege and set agenda for yourselves by first, embracing peace.
Killings by yourselves, can only worsened the already cracked walls no matter the level of stones applied during the foundation.
Traditional institutions must do all within it coffers to institutionalize Cultural ethics and programs that would occupy their time to curb youths profligacy in the early stages.
The only modest efforts to apply here will help build them in their tender nature, else we face their actions when they lack proper up brings as they become adults.
