Ogun State Government enacts law granting power to the Governor to demolish houses harboring cultists in the state

Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun now has the power to order the demolition of buildings where cultists hide.

Gov. Abiodun said the State government had enacted a law which empowered him as the governor to bring down any house providing safe haven to cultists.

“I have signed a law that now empowers me to demolish any house where a cultist is caught,” Gov Abiodun stated.

The Governor spoke at the 90th birthday ceremony of Alhaji Teslim Dawodu, held in Sagamu, yesterday July 28, 2022.

Abiodun, who frowned at the rate of cult clashes in the Gateway State, maintained that his administration would not rest, saying all necessary resources would be deployed to stop cultism in Ogun.

In Sagamu, the Governor expressed concern that cultists were disturbing the peace of the society.

However, he said the government was deploying resources to stay on top of the situation in Sagamu.

Abiodun recalled that cultists used to be something found among students of tertiary institutions in the past.

He regretted that, “these days, you will find out that cultists are now your mechanic, vulcanizer, bricklayer and when you even ask them why they are involved, they don’t even understand.”

To avoid demolition of their houses, Abiodun charged property owners in Ogun to ensure they have the data of their tenants.

Abiodun advised the landlords do what he called “KYC”, saying they should know their tenants before giving out their houses.

“This is because if we should catch anyone who is involved in cultism and lives in your house, we will demolish such a house,” the Governor stressed.

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said.
