JOY ONLINE reports that Peter Macjob said this while speaking on the Super Morning Show which centered on the activities of cult groups especially that of Black Axe, a cult group that mainly operates in Nigeria but has affiliations in some parts of West Africa.

According to JOY ONLINE, Peter Macjob attributed this to the failure of police officers in the country to bring the activities of cult groups under control.

“It’s gotten to the point where the police have been overrun but what makes it more complicated is that in the course of the investigation accusations that members of the Judiciary, Clergy, the Police, military, are all members of this group.”

As reported by JOY ONLINE, activities of vigilantes are highly not tolerated in Ghana because of the atrocities they commit in the society.

However, JOY ONLINE reports that security forces in the country struggled to tame them, especially because of their political affiliations but with the introduction of the Vigilantism Law, their activities have significantly been brought under control.

According to JOY ONLINE, the country has seen groups like the Invincible Forces and the Delta Force (which have been linked to the NPP), the Lions, the Hawks, the Azorka Boys, and the Dragons (linked to the NDC), but in compliance with the vigilante law which came into force on the back of the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence and outlawed vigilante groups, political parties disbanded all vigilantes associated with them.

As reported by JOY ONLINE, the BBC African Eye reporter reveals that civilians in Nigeria have adopted the use of vigilante groups as a protective measure against the activities of cult groups.

According to the BBC, African Eye reporter added that clamping down on the activities of these cults has become difficult especially in Nigeria because high profile personalities such as Judges, police officers, etc. are all affiliated with the cult.

As a result, JOY ONLINE reports that civilians who feel threatened by these groups in Nigeria come together to form vigilante groups to combat them.

“And because there are no police, ordinary civilians form themselves into vigilante groups.

“because they have either been victims of cult attacks or because they feel that they can’t sit back and let these rapscallions take over their communities,” the reporter said.Jamb Result

The reporter added “When they are taken to court there are no allegations. They produce only accusations because there is no evidence and once there is no evidence, you can’t prosecute.”
