Messiah Osatohanmwen, a fiery preacher and the vision bearer of Global Liberation Movement for Peace, Unity and Progress, has finalized arrangements to organize a statewide crusade for suspected cultists and occults in Edo state to publicly renounce their membership and then help to check its resurgence.

According to the preacher, the crusade is aimed at checking the unabated menace of cult related killings in Edo State,

It would be recalled that not less than 30 young people lost their lives in the recent cult related clashes in parts of Benin City.

Speaking to journalists in Benin City on several national and global issues including the war in Gaza Israel and the biblical expected return of the messiah and 1000 years of global peace, Osatohanmwen said he would seek the state government’s approval for the planned crusade even as he said that it was a national embarrassment that bandits would write hapless farmers that they would be coming to attack them on a particular date if a specified amount is not sought and they would do that to undermine Nigeria’s security.

He said, “We want to organise a crusade in February, we are going to have an avenue, be you a wizard, a native doctor, anything you are just come because there is no more time.

“But for the cultists, because during elections the politicians used to harmonise them and call them Rainbow and they give them money and work together to deliver the assignment given to them but when they start killing themselves, nobody will talk until it escalates before they will intervene.

“Now the only cult that is going to be recognized is the cult of Jesus and. There is going to be a renunciation.

“We are going to involve the government because these people that are renouncing need to have an affidavit they will be captured so that if there is a gunshot in a particular area, we will look for those who renounced from that area and they will help us to fish out the culprits, the renouncees will become the rainbow colour there is a central system that will get their data that will help us to know who is who and what they belong and who belonged to what because the renouncees will constitute the committee to check their activities.” (Daily Independent)
