Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, has condemned in strong terms the rise in the spate of killings and dismembering of human beings for ritual purposes.

While expressing his worries over the involvement of young ones in the dastardly act, the governor also vowed to deal decisively with anyone involved in this heinous crime in accordance with the relevant laws.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, noted that Ogun has been known over the years for being at the vanguard of ‘Omoluabi’ ethos, wondering when the decline in moral uprightness became the norm.

“We won’t be identified by this notoriety. We have emplaced security measures in schools and all the villages, hamlets and towns to ensure zero-tolerance for ritualists. We will trail them, apprehend them, investigate them and make them serve as examples for those harbouring such sinister routes to wealth acquisition”, the governor was quoted as saying.

According to him, the state made parents to sign an undertaking to make them partly answerable for their wards’ vices “and we are serious about stemming the tide of indiscipline in our state generally.”

Ogun, he added, has always been defined by integrity, hard work, service, valour and diligence, saying all hands must be on deck to arrest the moral decadence, particularly, among the youths who are deceived that there is a short cut to success.

While reiterating his administration’s commitment to providing necessary logistic support to security agencies in the state, Abiodun called on religious leaders to intensify their efforts towards delivering sermons on moral rebirth.

The governor also urged parents and guardians to ensure they inculcate right attitude into their wards, and always be a good moral compass to their children.

He, however, warned that anybody caught engaging in ritual killings and other crimes will be made to face the wrath of the law.

Abiodun said his administration will continue to espouse programmes and policies that engage the youths positively, with the aim of making Ogun a trailblazer in youth development and empowerment, economic growth and prosperity.

    Ritual killing for what ever reasons were cleared symptoms of a sickness of the society while Democratic leadership at all levels should first admitted the reality that the society was sicked because the Primary Purposes of Schools, Religious and Family as an Institutions that formed a morally sound and righteously upright of a society had failed totally in all their obligations in Nigeria these are cleared Genesis of all the societal challenges in Nigeria of which these Institutions that formed a morally sound society Must first admitted that the problems started from them and the solutions should also started from them too.
    Any society that defined Money as tool for Oppression and Impression does not really Know The Purposes of Wealth however the Ugly and Barbaric Ritual killing in a desperate to be rich by almost every Nigerians especially the youths are Pivotal to the fundamental questions of What is the PURPOSE OF MONEY?
    The Leadership style of many elected offices holders in Nigeria as well as Wealthy members of the society contributed to Why the Youths are desperate to be rich because these so called elected offices holders as executive and legislature as well as Wealthy members of the society unfolded that THE PURPOSES OF MONEY IS TO OPPRESS AND IMPRESS however their lavish lifestyle, questionable acquisition of exotic cars, extravagance birthdays, lavish marriages ceremony and unreasonable acquisition of houses in overseas all these with primary objective to IMPRESS over 120 Millions Poor Nigerians in poverty bondages, So Is this the Purpose of Money? Again these so called elected office holders as well as the wealthy members of the society also made the over 120 Millions Poor Nigerians to believed that (WITH MONEY ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLY) not really as says in the Holy scriptures that (WITH GOD ALL THING ARE POSSIBLE) these unholy notions made them to put themselves above all Laws the Divine laws and Man made laws while these often demonstrated from the way they OPPRESSED over 120 Millions defenceless, Poor Nigerians by denied them justice, OPPRESSED them in public, anywhere and anyplace when there are criminal or civil case between the Rich and the Poor the Rich always defeated the Poor in an opened manner of OPPRESSION So Is the Court Truly last hope for the Common Man? Is this the Purpose of Money?
    Therefore if the Natural resources of Nigeria, The Crude oil and many non oil sectors of the economy failed to removed Nigerians from global list of extremely poor country the way its removed other oil producing Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar It obviously mean that Nigeria was Blessed by GOD but the Leadership and the Citizens generally does not really Know the Purpose of MONEY. Again the Solutions to unprecedented crisis of Rituals killing for quick wealth is Pivotal to WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MONEY?
