Eradiri Condemns Cult Killings In Bayelsa

Former Bayelsa state Governorship candidate, Udengs Eradiri has condemned the frequent cult killings in the state. Eradiri described the act as unacceptable while lamenting to the government.

He also stated that the culprits have been attacking the youths in the state and that the security agencies have not been responsive.

Eradiri also called out the state security agencies to identify the killers and carry out their responsibilities. He noted that the frequent killings was tarnishing the image of that state.

While calling out the Governor of the state, he noted that the issue of youth empowerment should be addressed as well.

“I am saddened by the resurgence of cult-related killings in.my dear Bayelsa State especially Yenagoa, the state capital. Cultists are running amok hacking down their perceived enemies while security agencies and the government stand in akimbo helpless. It is high time we stopped this unnecessary wastage of human lives. Security agencies must rise up to their responsibilities of protecting lives and the government must embrace genuine youth empowerment and development beyond handing down meaningless appointments to youths”. Eradiri said.

He also stated that the government should create labour projects for the youths in order to keep them busy.

“Government should keep the youths busy with quick-win direct labour projects every month. There must be genuine agro support scheme and contract supplies to support the road construction companies doing work in the state. This approach is not a rocket science. The government can create labour projects every month and keep the youths busy with them. It will create jobs for the youths and divert their attentions from evil intentions. This killings must stop because it is giving our state a bad image. Enough is enough.” he stated.
